Ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a severe complication of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It is a term used to describe a spectrum of signs and symptoms including ocular surface inflammation, dry eye syndrome, lacrimal and meibomian gland dysfunction. We present a case of a 73-year-old man with chronic myeloblastic leukaemia and chronic GVHD. On examination, severe corneal thinning was detected in his left eye. We performed multi-layer amniotic membrane patching of the affected area, in an ambulatory setting, without using sutures or glue, but only a bandage contact lens to keep amniotic membranes attached. Three months post-amniotic-membrane-patching symptoms improved, corneal integrity was maintained, and corneal thickness increased significantly. Multi-layer amniotic membrane patching without glue and sutures may be sufficient enough to prevent further deterioration of corneal thinning and can be safely performed as an outpatient procedure, reducing the need for tectonic corneal transplantation.
