Abstract :
Aim: To present a rare case of childhood ocular
cystinosis.
Case Report: We report a case of 10 years old girl with
ocular cystinosis presented with the complain of
photophobia, watering, sometimes redness and foreign
body sensation. On ophthalmic examination visual
acuity was 6/6 in both eyes and slit-lamp examination
reveals fine cystine crystal deposition in both corneal.
Rest of the ocular examination was unremarkable.
Conclusion: Cystinosis is a rare Autosomal recessive
disorder which is basically characterised by deposition of
amino acid cystin within lysosome that damages various
organs and tissues mainly kidney and eyes. A
multidisciplinary approach icluding ophthalmologist,
nephrologist can manage a case of cystinosis.
