Abstract
Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) is a rare complication that occurs mainly after cataract surgery. We report the case of a 55-years-old woman who underwent refractive lensectomy. The Day-1Â postoperative examination was unremarkable, the Day-7Â examination showed corneal oedema related to DMD, which was confirmed by Visante® OCT. An intracameral injection of SF6Â expansive gas allowed the reapplication of the membrane and the receding of corneal oedema. Through this observation, we discuss the pathogenesis of this uncommon entity and the contribution of Visante® OCT.
