Here we present an operative complication of this technique, which was not initially recognized, that caused significant morbidity to our patient and eventually led to the eye requiring a full thickness regraft. We also attempt to reproduce the lesion using nonviable cadaver corneas and illustrate histologically the nature of the corneal stroma and its relationship to Descemet's membrane following viscoelastic delamination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
