Methods Case report with literature review on the management of ocular inflammation in Mooren's ulcer. Results A 47-year-old female and a 76-year-old female presented with progressive bilateral Mooren's ulcer that were refractory to conventional immunosuppressive therapy. Following treatment with infliximab, an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha, a significant improvement in disease progression was observed, with no corneal thinning or perforation at follow-ups. Conclusion This case report highlights how infliximab can be effective in cases with Mooren's ulcer refractory to conventional therapies.
