    To demonstrate that hairy cell leukemia may involve the eye. We examined a patient who had a unique ocular manifestation of hairy cell leukemia with severe panuveitis in one eye and leukemic retinopathy in the fellow eye. Therapy with 2-chloro-deoxy-adenosine, a drug recently introduced for treatment of hairy cell leukemia, led to dramatic improvement of the ocular complications. Hairy cell leukemia may involve the eye and ocular symptoms may respond to systemic treatment with 2-chloro-deoxy-adenosine.
