Oral pain management is essential. Acetaminophen or NSAID (such as ibuprofen) are first-line; seare pain may require short-term opiates. Topical NSAID are avoided because they can delay epixial healing andcause corneal melting.

Penetrating Keratoplasty (Corneal Transplant)

Full- squensis or lamellar keratoplasty may be necessary for non-healing perforations, large rouroscleral involvement, or densie scarring.
