title: Repair of late Descemet's membrane detachment with perfluoropropane gas.
abstract: We report 3 cases of Descemet's membrane detachment detected 2 to 3 weeks after surgery that was treated by intracameral injection of perfluoropropane 14% (C(3)F(8)) isoexpansile mixture. We looked at the predisposing factors, the best method of treatment, and the final outcome in cases of Descemet's membrane detachment following phacoemulsification.
