Dear Deseye, The patient did very well for 6 month, and then she did come to follow-ups. But the main aim of this surgery for this particular patient was tectonic purpose. She had been adviced for keratoplasty after the surgery.

Dr. Ozcan, how did this patient do? Was this a perforated corneal ulcer to begin with?
