To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal therapy in a patient with corneal disease. In the 6-month follow-up period, no surgical intervention was needed in the eye with the fluocinolone acetonide implant, whereas further penetrating keratoplasties and amniotic membrane transplants were performed in the fellow eye. Intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide may be considered as a treatment option in severe cases of autoimmune corneal disease.
