Abstract Synopsis

  • This study evaluated visual function in patients with Fabry disease who have cornea verticillata by measuring contrast sensitivity and straylight, finding that while basic visual acuity was unaffected, more detailed tests revealed functional differences.
  • The researchers found significant differences in overall contrast sensitivity (AULCSF) and straylight between Fabry patients and healthy controls, indicating subtle visual impairments despite normal visual acuity.
  • Subgroup analysis showed that patients with the classic whorllike pattern of cornea verticillata had slightly worse contrast sensitivity and straylight levels compared to those with a mild pattern, suggesting the pattern may relate to the degree of visual function impairment.]
