title: [Cysteamine eyedrops for treatment of corneal cysteine deposits in infantile cystinosis].
abstract: A two-year-old boy with nephropathic cystinosis was successfully treated with cysteamine eye drops. Using topical cysteamine 0.1% every two hours in the right eye we found a clearance of crystals from the cornea after 26 weeks. In the left eye, treated with topical cysteamine 0.5% the same result was reached after 12 weeks.
