title: A co-occurrence of familial isolated cherry red spot and multiple lens opacities.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a co-occurrence of familial isolated cherry red spot (CRS) and multiple lens opacities in all siblings from the same family without any other systemic or ocular diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four siblings from the same family had bilateral punctate lens opacities and bilateral CRS at the macula.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The oldest one had left eye exotropia and amblyopia, otherwise the other siblings had no additional ocular findings. Systemic investigation, physical examination, and laboratory tests were within normal limits.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Bilateral isolated CRS along with punctate lens opacities were seen in all siblings from the same family without any systemic and ocular diseases.
