Figure 1. A 36-year-old man had painless, intermittent loss of vision. In this photograph, a hypopyon, or leukocytic exudate, is seen in the anterior chamber (arrow) of the eye, and the conjunctiva and the underlying episclera appear injected. These findings, with the accompanying severe retinopathy, were caused by Behcet's disease. Treatment with chlorambucil and prednisone eye drops, and later with cyclosporine, failed to improve the patient's vision.
