EyeRounds Online Atlas of Ophthalmology
Contributor: William Charles Caccamise, Sr, MD, Retired Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
*Dr. Caccamise has very generously shared his images of patients taken while operating during the "eye season" in rural India as well as those from his private practice during the 1960's and 1970's. Many of his images are significant for their historical perspective and for techniques and conditions seen in settings in undeveloped areas.

The photograph is of an Indian adult male who was examined at the Kurji Holy Family Hospital Eye Clinic. He presented with the classic findings of this disease, i.e. hyperpigmentation of the lids, of the conjunctiva and sclera, and of the uveal tract.
