Corneal surgery and disorders

Two cases are presented where the corneal endothelium and Descemet's membrane spontaneously stripped off the stroma as an early operative complication of cataract surgery. Treatment is discussed. If recognized this problem can be corrected and the operation can proceed without incident.
