Optical coherence tomographyguided intracameral air injection for treatment of extensive Descemet's membrane Detachment

摘要

Extensive Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) is a rare but potentially serious complication of cataract surgery. Sometimes, the diagnosis may be difficult because corneal oedema can obscure visualisation of the Descemet's membrane. If a larger or more progressive detachment results in corneal opa-cification and is responsible for loss of vision, many doctors have favoured early surgical intervention. In this report, we describe a method of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided aqueous fluid drainage and intracameral air injection for treatment of DMD in three patients.
