Abstract
A 40-year-old patient with the diagnosis of acne rosacea presented with perforated peripheral corneal ulcer. Three applications of cyanoacrylate glue along with bandage contact lens failed to seal the perforation. Two months after the presentation, corneal perforation was successfully managed with amniotic membrane transplantation. The final best corrected visual acuity of 6/6 was achieved.
