Abstract
Wilson's disease is known for its rarity.It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and characterised by excessive accumulation of free copper in the body particularly the liver, brain, cornea and kidney. We report below a case of Wilson’s disease with well documented ocular findings. Incidental detection of K-F ring and Sunflower cataract by ophthalmologist in slit lamp examination in pre-symptomatic cases of Wilson’s disease may lead to early diagnosis and prompt management.
