Purpose: To report a case of double descemet membrane forming a double anterior chamber following ‘Big bubble’ DALK converted to PKP. Results: A 52-year-old man with keratoconus underwent DALK operation converted to PKP due to macro perforation of the descemet membrane. On the postoperative evaluation a remnant of the host’s descemet membrane formed a double anterior chamber. After a few months...

mated Bowman layer preparation with a 90to 100-mm-thick donor lamella of anterior stroma (instead of an 8to 12-mm-thick isolated Bowman layer graft). In our experience, the presence of donor stroma seems to degrade the optical quality of the transplanted cornea (as Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty/Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty grafts containing donor stroma ma...

PURPOSE To analyze the outcomes of post-cataract surgery descemetopexy for Descemet membrane detachment using intracameral air injection. SETTING Cornea Department, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India. DESIGN Interventional case series. METHODS The clinical data of patients who had descemetopexy from August 2010 to February 2011 for Descemet membrane detachment after cataract surger...

Endothelial keratoplasty is at present the gold standard for surgical treatment of corneal endothelial pathologies not associated with significant corneal scar. Tremendous progress has been made in recent years in improving the technology of endothelial keratoplasty techniques, such as descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty. ...

Purpose. To report the use of Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in a patient with keratoglobus and chronic hydrops. Case Report. We describe a case of a 28-year-old man with bilateral keratoglobus and chronic hydrops in the right eye secondary to spontaneous Descemet membrane tear. The patient presented with finger counting (CF) vision, itching, foreign body sensation, and seve...

In a transverse section of the cornea, Descemet's membrane appears as a "glassy" layer between the stroma and the endothelium. I t has been identified as the basement membrane of the endothelium (1, 2), and is described as a strong, structureless membrane, very resistant to chemical agents and to pathological processes, several micra in thickness, and normally in a state of tension (3). During ...
