# Descemet Membrane Detachment Assessed by Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography and Managed With Descemetopexy and Corneal Venting Incision: A Case Series

## TL;DR

This case series explores a treatment for a serious eye complication after cataract surgery using a specific surgical technique to improve vision outcomes.

## Contribution

The study introduces the combined use of descemetopexy and corneal venting incision for managing unresolved DMD after cataract surgery.

## Key findings

- Five patients with DMD were successfully treated using descemetopexy and a corneal venting incision.
- The treatment resulted in clearer corneas and better visual outcomes.
- Early detection and intervention are crucial for preventing vision loss in DMD cases.

## Abstract

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.
