B, Narrow-beam slit-lamp biomicroscopy shows that crystals are located exclusively in the epithelium and most superficial stromal layer of the cornea. Centrally, the cornea appears slightly thicker and the crystals slightly more prominent. C, Broad-beam slit-lamp biomicroscopy of the left eye shows diffuse, very small corneal crystals that are not reflective. D, Broad-beam slit-lamp biomicroscopy of the cornea of an adult patient with ocular cystinosis. Crystals are reflective and located throughout the corneal epithelium and entire stromal layer.
