A 62-year-old man presented with severe bilateral ocular surface chemical injury and history of failed penetrating keratoplasty of right eye in 1996. Visual acuity was hand movement in right eye and light perception in left eye. Staged procedures of limbal stem cells allograft followed by penetrating keratoplasty have been done and resulted in good ocular surface restoration and rehabilitation of vision in right eye.

A 63-year-old male presented with sudden diminution of vision, eye discomfort, redness and watering in his left eye. He had undergone glaucoma valve filtering surgery for refractive secondary glaucoma one week back. He also had a history of failed augmented trabeculectomy one year earlier in the same eye. Ocular examination showed best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) of 6/18 and there was a bleb leak, shallow anterior chamber and intraocular pression(IOP) of 6mmHg. Successful sealing of bleb leak was performed using fibrin glue resulted in deepening of anterior chamber with IOP of 13mmHg. This case demonstrates that, fibrin glue is an effective method for management of early filtering bleb leak.
