Inadvertent stromal staining simulating a Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty graft

Inadvertent stromal staining was noted after anterior chamber wash during trypan blue staining of the anterior capsule done intraoperatively in a 55‑year‑old female undergoing right eye cataract surgery. An interface of suspected Descemet membrane (DM) separation was also noted in the form of DM striae. Considering poor visibility, the surgery was stalled and an air bubble was injected into the anterior chamber, following which the case was closed for postoperative analysis. Stromal staining was confined to the central 8‑mm area, with DM striae, simulating the appearance of DMEK graft after Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery with trypan blue‑stained disc of 8 mm apposed centrally
