Abstract

Introduction: Corneal tattoos have been previously used in managing corneal pathologies.

Methods: We describe a case of a 28-year-old male who presented with intractable binocular diplopia, which was relieved with a corneal tattoo.

Conclusion: This is a novel application of corneal tattooing for the alleviation of intractable binocular diplopia.
