| description | To report the diagnosis and effective treatment of corneal edema due to Descemet’s membrane detachment following uneventfully
completed phacoemulsification surgery in a case. A 72-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic with a continuing gradual
deterioration of vision and diffuse corneal edema in her right eye, 12 days after an uneventful phacoemulsification surgery. Her visual
acuity was counting fingers from 2 meters in the right eye and 0.4 in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed a corneal edema mostly
prominent at the central and medial cornea with a Descemet’s membrane detachment near the medial site port area in the right eye.
There was a mild nuclear cataract in the left eye. Intraocular pressures were normal in both eyes. The patient had a medical history of
arterial hypertension. Descemet’s membrane detachment which was close to the medial side port area was detected on a detailed slit
lamp examination, and anterior chamber tamponade was performed with perfluoropropane (C3F8) under topical anesthesia. At the
third postoperative day, her right eye was comfortable, the corneal epithelial edema had almost cleared, and the Descemet’s membrane
appeared to be reattached completely with only small wrinkles remaining. Her visual acuity improved to 0.5 in the right eye. (Turk J
