Slit-lamp photography shows a dense deposit of copper in Descemet's membrane (a Kayser-Fleischer ring) in a 17-year-old girl with Wilson's disease (Panel A). After eight years of therapy with dimercaprol and penicillamine, the Kayser-Fleischer ring had completely resolved (Panel B). The left eye is shown; the right eye had a similar appearance.
