    Anterior segment image of a 67-year-old Indian woman who had proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment with neovascular glaucoma. Patient underwent vitrectomy with membrane peeling with endolaser followed by silicone oil injection 1 year back. Patient was lost to follow up and presented a year later with this picture. She had crystallized silicone oil particles in the anterior chamber rendering a polychromatic lustre like appearance; a unique and rare finding.
