Following renal transplantation in nephropathic cystinosis, an extension of retinopathy associated with a variety of subtle functional ocular abnormalities may occur. However, these abnormalities have not (except for photophobia) been of subjective significance to cystinotic patients. Our data, gathered from patients transplanted as long as nine years ago, indicate that cystinotic patients should not have renal transplant withheld because of the fear of subsequent progressive ocular deterioration.
