Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of anterior chamber gas injection for the treatment of detachment of corneal Descemet’s membrane after cataract surgery.
Methods
The data of 31 eyes of 31 patients with corneal Descemet’s membrane detachment after phacoemulsification in this hospital from Nov. 2015 to Nov. 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Anterior chamber gas injections were performed at 1 day after surgery. The patients were followed up for 3 months.
Results
The corneal Descemet’s membranes restored well after surgery in 29 patients(93.55%). One patient(3.23%) with local corneal Descemet’s membrane detachment restored, after using regional anti-inflammatory and hypertonic eye drips. One patient (3.23%) with partial detachment, anterior chamber gas injection was performed again. All these 31 patients had visual acuity improvements after surgery(t=6.926, P=0.000).
Conclusion
Anterior chamber gas injection in early stage is a safe and effective method for corneal Descemet’s membrane detachment after cataract surgery.
