The patient developed Amsler like Sign. It appeared few minutes after Peri-bulbar block following digital massage before any instrumentation of the globe. Surgery was post-poned to rule out globe perforation or any other pathology for Anterior Chamber bleed. All possible causes were ruled out and patient was eventually taken up for Cataract Surgery which was uneventful without any intra-op or post-op complications.
