Cystadrops
Cystadropes are new eye drops that can clear cystine crystal deposits in the cornea of patients with cystinosis.
Cystadropes can significantly reduce the deposition of cystine crystals in the cornea.
Cystine storage disease is a rare congenital disease that causes cystine crystals to accumulate throughout the body, causing extensive tissue and organ damage and a major effect on the eyes.
Cystinosis is a complex disease.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to slow the development and progression of symptoms.
Over the past few decades, advances in the treatment of cystine storage disease have led to increased life expectancy. Despite these advances, the ocular manifestations of this disease are an ongoing struggle for patients. Patients with acidosis are sensitive to light, discomfort and pain in their eyes. “They often even wear sunglasses indoors and try to continue their daily activities such as school and work.” It is a cysteine-lowering agent that has been identified for the treatment of corneal cystine crystalline deposits in adults and children with cystinosis.
