Descemetʼs membrane detachment (DMD) is a rare complication following cataract and glaucoma surgery as well as lamellar graft procedures. DMD can lead to blurry vision, halos and severe visual loss. Clinically, when there is a large central detachment, a double anterior chamber is seen to form. In this scenario, surgical repair may be needed. Repair of localised DMD may be achieved by injection of gases such as perfluoropropane (C3F8) and sulfurhexafluoride (SF6) or sterile air. The effect of a functioning Baerveldt tube in situ during these injections has not been reported. We report a case of DMD repair in an eye with a Baerveldt aqueous shunt.
