Secondary bacterial keratitis may rarely be associated with a shield ulcer in a case of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis. A perforated ulcer in such a case should be promptly investigated and surgically treated immediately to prevent permanent vision loss and other complications. We report such a case of perforated shield ulcer with secondary Pseudomonas keratitis following a supratarsal injection of Triamcinolone acetonide in a case of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis.
