Anterior segment OCT-based algorithm helps manage Descemet’s membrane detachment

Anterior segment OCT is a useful tool for diagnosing and guiding treatment for patients with Descemet’s membrane detachment whose cornea may not be easily evaluated with traditional methods.In patients who have had ocular trauma or undergone eventful surgery, moderate to severe corneal edema can make it difficult for a surgeon to view and evaluate the cornea using a traditional slit lamp. Anterior segment OCT can give surgeons accurate measurements of the detachment and the extent of its severity, Dhivya A. Kumar, MBBS, MD (AIIMS), FICO, FAICO, told Ocular Surgery News.
