Shimmering Clarity: A Rare Case Report of Ocular Cystinosis

This case underscores the importance of recognizing ocular manifestations of cystinosis in adult patients, particularly those with no history or signs of systemic involvement. Early and sustained use of topical cysteamine ophthalmic solutions can significantly mitigate symptoms and prevent progression of corneal changes. Comprehensive management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to address systemic and ocular sequelae of the disease.

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of recognizing ocular manifestations of cystinosis in adult patients, particularly those with no history or signs of systemic involvement. Early and sustained use of topical cysteamine ophthalmic solutions can significantly mitigate symptoms and prevent progression of corneal changes. Comprehensive management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to address systemic and ocular sequelae of the disease.
