【 摘 要 】

We describe a case of painless progressive loss of vision in a 15 years old male patient with Alport syndrome and diffuse Leiomyomatosis. After a comprehensive history and ocular examination, a diagnosis of bilateral posterior subcapsular cataracts was given. Patient underwent cataract extraction. His best corrected post-operative visual acuity was 20/25 in both eyes. We conclude that posterior subcapsular cataracts may lead to painless and progressive loss of vision in patients with Alport syndrome and Diffuse Leiomyomatosis.
