We consider the propagation of polarized light in the medium with Maxwell fish eye refraction index profile. We show that polarization violates the additional symmetries of medium, so that ray trajectories no longer remain closed. Then we suggest a modified, polarization-dependent Maxwell fish eye refraction index which restores all symmetries of initial profile and yields closed trajectories of polarized light. Explicit expressions for the polarization dependent integrals of motion and the solutions of corresponding ray trajectories are presented.
