Descemet Membrane Detachment Assessed by Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography and Managed With Descemetopexy...

Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) is a serious complication of cataract surgery noted mostly in the immediate post-operative period. We present a case series of five patients who experienced unresolved corneal edema during the post-operative period with DMD, as observed in slit-lamp examination and confirmed by anterior segment-optical coherence tomography. In all these cases, descemetopexy, along with a corneal venting incision, is performed for better and faster results, resulting in a clearer cornea. Early detection and management of DMD can give excellent visual outcomes and prevent vision loss in such cases.
