“…When surgical intervention is elected, the least possible use of instrumentation is advised . Multiple surgical interventions have been described to treat DMD including suturing the edge of the detached membrane to the scleral edge with nylon 10/0, intracameral injection of gas (14% C3F8, 20% SF3 or 100% air), and anterior chamber injection of an ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) . In a retrospective study over 8 years of managing tertiary ophthalmologic referrals, 12 patients were identified with large DMD .…”

The aim of this article was to describe Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) following phacoemulsification in five equine eyes and to review the human literature on this topic. In the last decade, there has been increased reporting of DMD in the human literature, in particular following cataract surgery. The natural history of DMD remains unknown and although various medical and surgical treatments have been advocated there is no recognized 'gold standard' treatment for DMD. This case series reports the diagnosis of DMD in four horses (5 eyes) in association with phacoemulsification surgery. The diagnosis of DMD in these patients was made intra-operatively, postoperatively or on subsequent histopathological examination. The surgical reports, photographic or video recordings, and ultrasound data were evaluated and possible factors associated with the pathophysiology of DMD are discussed. This is the first description of DMD in the veterinary literature, and the authors believe that DMD might hitherto have been overlooked in veterinary ophthalmology due to a lack of awareness of the condition. The possible causes, clinical signs, and treatment of DMD as described in the human literature are also reviewed.

Though infrequent, Descemet membrane detachment is a complication of intraocular surgery, including cataract surgery and phacoemulsification. Since the first systematic description and classification in the literature by Samuels in 1928 and its characterization as a potential sight-threatening condition by Scheie in 1964, plenty of retrospective and anecdotal evidence contribute to uncertainty and debate. The main controversy still lies in the choice between conservative treatment in hopes of spontaneaous reattachment and surgical treatment in a timely manner to maximize visual recovery.
