We did not note any corneal abnormalities when we examined our patient with sialidosis 1 year ago. Because Dr Goldberg is a nationally recognized expert in the manifestations of inherited and metabolic diseases, we reexamined the patient on receipt of his letter. The acuity remains 20/20 OU. Careful inspection of the cornea with biomicroscopy did not reveal any abnormalities, and specifically, no stromal haze could be detected. The fundus is unchanged. It is noteworthy that at age 16 years, the patient has developed neurologic symptoms, including myoclonus and seizures.
