The authors present a rare case of a 46-year-old man with Creutzfeldt-Jacob's disease, its causal agent being an unconventional virus (prion). Ocular symptoms were the first which made the patient see a doctor. The course of the disease with a fatal outcome caused great diagnostic difficulties among a number of specialists.
