Brittle cornea syndrome (BCS) is a genetic connective tissue disorder with discernible ocular features such as blue scleral and thin cornea that predominantly presents in younger children. We herein describe cases of three siblings with BCS, two of whom presented to us with open globe injuries following trivial trauma. Clinical examination of the other eye in both showed diffusely thin corneas and blue sclera. A systemic evaluation revealed sensorineural hearing loss and hyperextensible joints. The third sibling was screened and found to have features concurrent with BCS. This report highlights the challenges faced in the management of ocular injuries and consecutive complications in these patients.
