Design: Retrospective, comparative, nonrandomized clinical study.

Methods: Single-center study of a total of 100 eyes (100 patients) implanted with a KPro between 2008 and 2017, and diagnosed with glaucoma before or after KPro.

Purpose: we report a case of late spontaneous large detachment of Descemet's membrane in recurrent pellucid marginal degeneration after penetrating keratoplasty.

Observations: a 73-year-old man presented to clinic with spontaneous detachment of his Descemet's membrane 30 years after penetrating keratoplasty for pellucid marginal degeneration. Efforts were made to bubble the membrane back into place without success.
