As the the meeting approaches, and with it our now-regular course on corneal perforations, I wanted to share this interesting case to highlight the importance of creative thinking when managing perforations in challenging clinical backgrounds.

This patient was suffering from peripheral ulcerative keratitis ( ) in the context of pyoderma gangrenosum. Despite immunosuppression, the disease had caused diffuse conjunctivalisation of the cornea and a corneal perforation. Despite repeated attempts at gluing and applying amniotic membrane to seal it, it continued to leak. The patient was keen to avoid evisceration, despite the limited visual prognosis. With this mini-DSEK, I managed to seal the perforation and restore the integrity of the globe, without disrupting the ocular surface, which could have led to further melting.

Partial thickness compression sutures are an effective means of hastening the resolution of corneal hydrops. In this video i demonstrate how to place them and adjust them for best effect. I do not use air in the anterior chamber, as it it is not necessary for the resolution of the corneal hydrops, and avoiding air reduces the risk of pupil block and induction of cataract.

I remain forever grateful to Professor John Dart: for his unwavering support and encouragement, his readiness to offer advice on the most complex of cases, his undying passion for corneal work, and his wonderful sense of humour. It was lovely to see you at the recent dinner, dear John. You are much missed at MEH!

and plus looking very Christmassy, luckily not affecting the patients’ vision! Not all these conditions require treatment.

When trephining DMEK tissue, incomplete cuts occasionally occur. This method shows how to safely complete the trephination without additional punching, avoiding endothelial damage.
