Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old female poodle was brought in with a blue-gray mass on the white part of her left eye, which is known as congenital scleral staphyloma. The veterinarian used a graft from preserved tissue to repair the defect in her eye. After the procedure, the size of the mass decreased, her eye alignment improved, and the overall appearance of her eye looked better.

Abstract
A case of congenital scleral staphyloma was treated with a preserved homologous peritoneum graft. A 2‐year‐old female poodle with a blue‐gray mass in a dorsal and temporal position of the sclera of the left eye was evaluated. The repair of the scleral defect with a graft of preserved homologous peritoneum reduced the strabismus and the size of the staphyloma, and improved the cosmetic appearance of the eye.
