Figure 3

Images of a larger progressive corneal perforation in a patient with recurrent HSK. (a) Perforation before surgery. (b) Image of the same eye 1 month after AMT. (c) UBM image 1 month after AMT showing complete perforation healing. The anterior chamber angle was open and the corneal shape at the perforation site exhibited angulation deformity because of inadequate stromal strength. (d) UBM image 2 months after AMT showing complete cornea reshaping. The front and back surfaces of the cornea were sleek and the stromal thickness at the perforation site was as thick as the surrounding stroma.
