Sunflower cataract

Kayser-Fleischer corneal ring (B. Kayser, 1902 B. Fleischer, 1903) occurs in Wilson s disease. It has also been observed in alcoholic liver disease. (47) Deposits of copper compounds form a brownish green comeal ring of 1 - 3 mm in width near the limbus. It can be identified at an early stage by slit-lamp examination, (s. fig. 4.17) Individual radiating, greenish brown sunflower cataracts are sporadically detectable in Wilson s disease. 

Incidental copper foreign body in the eye (chalosis hulhi) may result in sunflower cataract or even lead to the loss of the eye (Rosen 1949).
