Scleral graft has been used in clinical situations including perforating eye trauma to treat traumatic scleral dehiscence. A 28-year-old male patient presented for a painful left eye following a firearm-related injury few hours ago. Visual acuity was limited to light perception with a 2 mm wide, oval-shaped inferior scleral gap. Due to the size of the scleral defect, we decided to perform a scleral autograft. The graft was fashioned from the inferonasal sclera, deposited over the recipient hole, and secured with 10–0 nylon sutures on the corneal and scleral sides of the surgical bed with favorable anatomical and refractive outcomes.
