“…In complicated cases, pneumodescemetopexy needs to be augmented with additional procedures. For patients in whom DMD could not be reattached with air descemetopexy and those requiring prolonged tamponade, expansile gases sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or perfluoropropane (C3F8) may be used 4 6 7. In patients with poor visibility of DMD due to severe corneal oedema, trypan blue may be used to enhance visibility 5.…”

A woman in her 60s was referred to us for management of poor vision following cataract surgery in the right eye. She had undergone manual small incision cataract surgery 12 weeks earlier. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed corneal oedema, a horizontal line at the upper border and the adhered inferior border of detached Descemet’s membrane (DM). Clinical diagnosis of impacted Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD) was considered.Surgical intervention with manual schisis and intracameral injection of air was planned. Using the ‘push technique,’ we tried to place the tip of the 27 gauge cannula between the back of the cornea and detached DM. The tip of the 27 gauge cannula was behind the impacted DM, and air injection was unsuccessful. Using the back-up the ‘pull technique,’ bent tip of the 27 gauge cannula was used to pull the impacted DMD. This manoeuvre, disimpacted the inferior border and the air bubble, was injected using the 27 gauge cannula. The air bubble unfolded and reattached the DM successfully.
