Detachment of Descemet's membrane

Descemet's corneal detachment (Descemet's membrane ablation) is a serious eye condition that causes the layer of tissue that lies between the eye's cornea and the eyelid (conjunctiva) to weaken and thin. With this pathology, disturbances in the formation of the sclera, the transparent membrane of the eye, often occur. Descemet's detachment can have serious consequences, including limiting the patient's visual function and developing frequent and complex complications.

Treatment of Descemet's detachment of the eye is carried out at all stages depending on the severity and can be carried out by ophthalmologists both on an outpatient and inpatient basis. In some cases, it may be necessary to provide emergency assistance by medical personnel without interrupting normal life activities. Surgical treatment is possible, as well as conservative therapy. Therefore, if you experience any symptoms of gingival detachment, seek immediate help from a qualified eye doctor.

In ophthalmic practice, the concept of detachment of the descematoma membrane (DSM) is very often encountered. In addition, there is the concept of demyelination of the optic nerve, which also occurs quite often.

Both DSM and optic nerve demyelination are formed when the eyeball is crushed and exist in parallel, independently of each other. The prognosis doctors will make for the patient depends on which of these pathologies is present in the patient’s organ of vision. The time from the moment of injury to the moment of diagnosis of the disease is also important. In the vast majority of cases, diagnosing DSM takes much longer than diagnosing demyelinating optic nerve disease.

The outer layers of the eye (cornea and sclera) form a hermetically tight connection with each other. This ligament is formed for the following reason: the molecules of the ciliary body of the eye chamber, connecting with each other in a certain proportion, create an additional layer of ciliary tissue, which looks dense and impenetrable in order to achieve transparency of the cornea and lens of the eye. This is what gives the eyes the ability to refract light. This ciliary tissue is practically invisible to the doctor for diagnosis and does not have medical terms such as “detachment of the ciliary membrane.” And only when the thickness of the layer of ciliary tissues noticeably decreases, the process of a sealed boundary of the formation of this ciliary-sealed connection between the cornea and the sclera of the eyeball (in a simplified form of DSM) becomes clearly visible. Then the cornea ceases to perform its “germerite” function, and between this

Descemet's membrane detachment is one of the most common eye conditions that can lead to vision impairment and even loss. The passing of decementum is a natural process that occurs in the life of every person and should be recognized as normal. However, if decemental sloughing occurs too frequently or occurs during the progression of the disease, it can have serious consequences.

The key sign of decement passage is myopia. Decemites are thin translucent plates that cover the surface of the cornea. They protect the cornea from damage, but their function can be impaired by various diseases such as keratitis and dry eye. When decemites move away from the cornea, they can expose the deeper layers of the eyeball, which can lead to corneal damage and the development of erosions.
