Repositioning of Descemet's membrane: a case report

An 80-year-old Australian was admitted to Concord Hospital for right cataract extraction and intraocular implant. During the procedure under local anaesthesia, two-thirds of Descemet's membrane was stripped down into the anterior chamber. The membrane was later repositioned by air injection into the anterior chamber. Sixteen months later, her right visual acuity is 6/9 and she reads the newspapers.
