Intraoperative Descemets membrane detachment in a case of phacomorphic glaucoma

A 60-year-old female patient with phacomorphic glaucoma underwent initial medical management to control the intraocular pressure (IOP). After 48 hours, a stable IOP was achieved and subsequently the patient was planned for phacoemulsification followed by intraocular lens implantation. There was initial difficulty while reconstructing the corneal wounds; however, phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were uneventful but during viscoelastic removal, an inadvertent Descemet's membrane detachment involving the central cornea was noted. Postoperatively corneal oedema persisted till 1 week, following which there was a gradual improvement with topical antibiotics, steroids and hyperosmotic agents. At the end of 6 months, the best corrected visual acuity was 20/25 with a central corneal thickness of 580 µm without any need for additional endothelial replacement surgery.
