Systemic tuberculosis mostly affects the lungs and ocular involvement is rare. The ocular manifestations are varied, and rarely peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) occurs either due to direct invasion of the microorganism or due to immune reaction. We present a case of advanced PUK in a 28-year-old male patient diagnosed with pulmonary TB in the right eye with hourglass cornea. The ulcer was progressing circumferentially with necrosis of corneal stroma and undermined margins similar to Moorens ulcer, and was not responding to anti-tuberculosis treatment and topical steroids. We describe a modified novel surgical technique using tenons sling annular patch graft to manage the progressive advanced PUK with hourglass cornea to optimize visual and structural outcome in our patient.
