| Abstract | A 73-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presented with corneal perforation at nasal cornea of her left eye after primary pterygium excision and amniotic membrane grafting without other adjunctive therapy. She was successfully treated with lamellar keratoplasty using corneoscleral graft, without signs of graft rejection at 6 months postoperatively. |
