Abstract
We report a rare case of perforated corneal ulcer due to recurrent viral keratitis with stromal necrosis and iris prolapse. The patient was 75 years old farmer, normotensive, diabetic, and presented with complaints of pain, watering, photophobia, redness and dimness of vision in the left eye. The left eye's visual acuity was perception of light and projection of rays in all four quadrants. Slit lamp examination found swollen eyelids, matted eyelashes, congested conjunctiva, seidel test positive, an inferonasal corneal perforation, shallow anterior chamber, irregular pupil, and prolapse of the iris through the perforated cornea. The patient was diagnosed with a left-sided perforated corneal ulcer (recurrent viral keratitis with stromal necrotizing variety) having iris prolapse. The perforation was sealed by cyanoacrylate glue and a soft bandage contact lens. This improved the patient’s condition. Early medical and surgical interventions thus can save vision as well as the eyeball.
