    Corneal perforation is an ocular emergency that requires early intervention to avoid permanent visual loss from endophthalmitis or irreversible structural changes. Although tectonic keratoplasty is the best choice for patching a large perforation, a donor cornea is not always immediately available. Consequently, an alternative material is required while awaiting a donor cornea. We report the use of preserved bovine pericardium as a temporizing graft to maintain the ocular integrity in two patients with corneal perforation.
