Isolated comma or corkscrew-shaped venular segments in the
conjunctiva
have been felt to be diagnostic of sickle cell disease. External eye examination of a 34-year-old black man with a two-year history of
chronic granulocytic leukemia
revealed multiple small and medium-sized isolated conjunctival venular segments. Laboratory findings at the time of examination included a white blood cell count of 132,000/mm3 with 87% eosinophils, a hematocrit reading of 30%, and hemoglobin AA. Since whole blood hyperviscosity can be present in
chronic granulocytic leukemia
as well as sickle cell disease, this may account for the similarly of the conjunctival changes.

Eye involvement in
chronic myeloid leukemia
is well known. The signs are infiltration of the choroid, the sclera, the episclera, the
conjunctiva
and the optic nerve. Eye involvement is more common in acute than in chronic forms of leukemia. This paper reports a case of
chronic myeloid leukemia
in which optic nerve involvement was the only initial sign of the disease.
