title: Confocal microscopy in multiple myeloma associated crystalline keratopathy: case report.
abstract: We report on the confocal microscopical findings of both corneas of a patient presenting a multiple myeloma associated crystalline keratopathy and the response to treatment. Blurred vision was the first sign of progression of the multiple myeloma. Confocal microscopy images show needle-like structures in the epithelium and stroma of the cornea which regressed after treatment of the multiple myeloma.
