A 60-year-old male presented with decreased visual acuity, photophobia and redness in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed diffuse large mutton fat keratic precipitates and a line which was parallel to limbus in the peripheral corneal endothelium developed from KPs. A diagnosis of herpetic keratouveitis was made by clinical examination and laboratory work up. He was treated with systemic acyclovir, topical acyclovir, and topical steroid. The findings were resolved with therapy.
