(A) The lesion had a typical blueberry-like external appearance, consisting of an extremely thin and protruded cornea, measuring 12×14 mm, with iridocorneal adhesions. (B) The patient underwent sclerokeratoplasty using a 14 mm corneal graft, as well as iridectomy and lensectomy. The graft remained clear at 4-week follow-up, and the patient’s best corrected visual acuity improved to 20/100 after aphakic correction.
