Influence of Corneal Opacity on Intraocular Pressure Assessment in Patients with Lysosomal Storage Diseases.
To investigate an influence of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS)- and Morbus Fabry-associated corneal opacities on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements and to evaluate the concordance of the different tonometry methods.25 MPS patients with or without corneal clouding, 25 Fabry patients with cornea vert...
