          Abstract

          To describe a case of successful treatment of a corneal perforation with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate was applied at the slit lamp with topical proparacaine anesthesia to a cornea with an inferior perforation with iris plugging the defect. After application of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, the anterior chamber was noted to deepen, and visual acuity improved to 20/200. The glue remained intact for more than 6 weeks and eventually fell out. The underlying cornea healed without scarring, vascularization, or thinning. We have described a case in which 2-octyl cyanoacrylate was used to treat a corneal perforation with excellent results. Further study of this adhesive will be useful in comparing the effectiveness and safety of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate with that of previously studied adhesives.
