Abstract
This 1-day meeting was held at the Austria Trend Savoyen Hotel, Vienna, Austria. The afternoon, chaired by Dr Hong Liang and Dr Rachel Bishop, consisted of a series of case presentations focussed on the treatment of ocular manifestations resultant of cystinosis, including the use of the novel gel-like formulation of cysteamine. Dr Inês Leal presented a series of four cases from the Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisbon, Portugal, illustrating the importance of early administration of treatment. Dr Giancarlo Iarossi presented a case highlighting the various examination techniques available to evaluate morphological and functional change during follow-up. Mr Susmito Biswas presented an interesting case of ocular cystinosis with concurrent congenital glaucoma, which brings a number of challenges. Dr Carla Ferreira presented two cases from the Hospital São João, Oporto, Portugal, that had two very different outcomes. Finally, Dr Eleonora Maria Soler Pava presented two cases from her clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, highlighting the good prognosis for patients when continual treatment is available.
