Ocular manifestations of intermediate cystinosis: To treat or not to treat?

CONCLUSION: In this reported case, a delayed non-treatment decision has been proved right contrary to published evidence of active treatment of photophobia. The decision whether to treat or not to treat corneal involvement of the disease is not straightforward. Besides biomicroscopic evaluations, patients' complaints and expectations should be taken into account. PMID: 31074291 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
