Piyush Ashok Madan, Sachin Daigavane

The leukemias are malignant neoplasms of the hematopoietic stem cells, characterized by diffuse replacement of the bone marrow by neoplastic cells. There are 3 stages in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia-chronic phase, accelerated phase and blast phase.

Ophthalmic manifestation can be classified into two categories: primary or direct leukemic infiltration and secondary or indirect involvement. Screening for ocular manifestations of leukemia, although not a routine practice, is important as they may antedate systemic disease or form an isolated focus of its relapse. The prevalence of ocular involvement in leukemic patients has been reported to be 9% to 90% in various studies. To highlight the important ophthalmic manifestation in patients of leukemias we are presenting a case report on chronic myeloid leukemia in accelerated phase of a young male patient referred from medicine OPD with chief complaints of blurring of vision in both eyes since 2 days.
