This document presents a case report of a 63-year-old male with non-nephropathic cystinosis who presented with longstanding photophobia, glare, and foreign body sensation in his eyes. On examination, punctate needle-shaped crystals were diffusely present throughout the cornea. Diagnosis was confirmed by an elevated level of serum cystine. The document also provides background on cystinosis as a rare metabolic disorder characterized by intracellular cystine accumulation. Corneal crystal deposition is a pathognomonic manifestation and advances with age, initially causing asymptomatic crystals and later photophobia, punctate keratopathy, and blurred vision. Treatment involves cysteamine therapy to reduce cystine levels.
