Descemet’s membrane detachment: A stumbling block for the beginners in cataract surgery

Key Points

Descemet membrane detachment is a common intra-operative complication in cataract surgery, especially for inexperienced surgeons.
A 75-year-old male presented with defective vision and a severe Descemet membrane detachment in the left eye.
Despite initial medical management, no improvement occurred, leading to an injection of C3F8 being planned.
This case underscores the importance of proper techniques in cataract surgery to minimize complications.

Abstract

Abstract A 75-year-old male came to the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Indra Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, with a complaint of defective vision in the left eye for the past 2 years. On examination, his visual acuity was finger counting close to face in the left eye, and the cornea had a large superior Descemet membrane detachment (DMD). DMD is a very common intra-operative complication in cataract surgery, specifically for beginners. Medical management was started, but no improvement was noted, following which an injection of C3F8 was planned.
