A 30-year-old female presented with diminution of vision in the right eye for 2 months. She was a known case of macular corneal dystrophy and had undergone OD deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty 2 years back. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/18 at 6 months. At presentation, the BCVA was 4/60 and 6/60 in OD and OS, respectively. The graft was clear with no interface haze. An area of graft ectasia with thinning at the inferotemporal (7–9'o clock) graft–host junction was noted clinically and on tomography. Rigid gas permeable contact lenses showed a BCVA of 6/9 and were advised.
