Rebubbling of detached descemet membrane endothelial grafts at the slit lamp with 50% air fill after PI-less DMEK during COVID-19 era.

CONCLUSION: Rebubbling of detached DMEK grafts at the slit lamp with 50% air fill in the anterior chamber is a relatively simple and effective procedure. This provides an alternative approach for managing the complication of partially detached DMEK grafts in the era of COVID-19 with limited operating theatre access and avoids the risk of complications such as pupillary block in 'PI-less' DMEK.
