This 15-year-old male patient has been diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta through genetic testing after birth and has poor vision. His full corneas in both eyes are unevenly thinned and bulging in a spherical shape, with the right eye being more severe. He underwent a limbal stem cell-sparing lamellar keratoplasty in the right eye, resulting in improved vision with a corrected visual acuity of 0.5, a decrease in corneal curvature, and a significant increase in corneal thickness. The surgery had a satisfactory outcome. The condition of the left eye is progressing and will require further surgical treatment.
