Relaxing Descemetotomy

Soosan Jacob FRCS

Show Description +

In this video, I demonstrate a new technique I have described as "Relaxing Descemetotomy" for a hitherto unrecognized condition I have termed as "Tractional Descemet's detachment." It also features a short discussion on my new classification system and treatment algorithm for Descemet's detachment at the end of the video.
I would like to thank and acknowledge my good friend, Dr. Gabor Scharioth for providing me with the picture I have used in the classification for bullous Descemet's detachment.
