  • Title: Double Descemet's membrane in penetrating keratoplasty.
    Author: Arenas Archila E, Ramirez Cabrera MF, Mieth Alviar A.
    Journal: Refract Corneal Surg; 1993; 9(1):65-6. PubMed ID: 8481376.
    Abstract:
    A rare complication of penetrating keratoplasty is incomplete removal of the host Descemet's membrane, which can progressively become opaque. Utilizing a Nd:YAG laser, we opened the opaque membrane, improving visual acuity from 20/400 to 20/100.
