Core Tip	Corneal ulcers represent a significant cause of visual impairment in Indonesia, commonly following ocular trauma. This study highlights that therapeutic and tectonic keratoplasty effectively preserves eyeball integrity in moderate to severe infective corneal ulcers. Despite a notable improvement in visual acuity, complications such as secondary glaucoma and graft failure are prevalent, emphasizing the need for vigilant post-operative management.
