/in , , /by

Cystinosis:

  • The eyes are the second most commonly affected extra-renal organ, with cystine crystal deposits in the corneas.
  • Cystine crystals can be  observed in the cornea after age 1.5-2 years and are diagnostic of cystinosis.
  • Pigmentary retinopathy consisting of patches of depigmentation may sometime be present as an early ocular finding and can result in impaired color vision and impaired night vision.
  • Progressive retinopathy and band keratopathy occur later in life in patients not treated with cysteamine eye drops.
