Figure 2a. Slit lamp photographs of a Kayser-Fleischer ring. Note the prominent golden/copper hue of the peripheral corneal endothelium—a result of copper deposition, primarily in Descemet membrane.

Figure 2c. Note how the posterior corneal reflex loses the prominent golden/copper hue centrally but maintains the dull metallic sheen superiorly and inferiorly (seen most prominently inferiorly in this photograph)
Figure 3. Slit lamp gonioscopy photographs of a Kayser-Fleischer ring. Note the dark brown/gold/copper band located anterior to the trabecular meshwork in the peripheral cornea.
