N2 - Extensive Descemet's membrane detachment persisted after small incision cataract surgery in three patients. Unfolding and repositioning of Descemet's membrane by sodium hyaluronate (Healon®) were followed by injection of sulfur hexafluoride 20% gas mixed with air to fill the anterior chamber. Initially, the gas bubble filled most of the anterior chamber; it disappeared over 7 to 9 days. Descemet's membrane remained attached, and the corneal edema cleared.
