PURPOSE: To report the effect of intrastromal injection of bevacizumab in an eye with extensive corneal stromal vascularization after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. METHODS: Bevacizumab (2.5 mg/1 mL) was injected into the deep corneal stroma of an eye with severe and extensive stromal vascularization. RESULTS: Corneal vascularization regressed dramatically after deep stromal injection of bevacizumab with no recurrence after 6 months. Visual acuity was improved, and the patient's complaints subsided. CONCLUSIONS: Corneal intrastromal injection of bevacizumab can be considered for management of intrastromal vascularization after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
