title: Corneal manifestations of the systemic mucopolysaccharidoses.
abstract: Newer biochemical understanding of the mucopolysaccharidoses now allows a better classification of these diseases. The dermatan and keratan sulfate-storing diseases have corneal clouding. The heparan sulfate-storing diseases have retinal changes and usually central nervous system manifestations.
