A 38-year-old man presented with mild blurring of vision in both eyes for the past 1 week. On examination, the retinal vessels were dilated and tortuous, along with multiple dot blot haemorrhages all over the fundus with yellowish white focal retinal infiltrates at the macula temporal to the fovea. The salmon pink discolouration of the blood column made us look at the peripheral blood smear, which was suggestive of chronic myeloid leukaemia, leading to a diagnosis of leukaemic retinopathy in both the eyes.
Keywords: macula; retina.
