Abstract
PURPOSE: To present a co-occurrence of familial isolated cherry red spot (CRS) and multiple lens opacities in all siblings from the same family without any other systemic or ocular diseases. METHODS: Four siblings from the same family had bilateral punctate lens opacities and bilateral CRS at the macula. RESULTS: The oldest one had left eye exotropia and amblyopia, otherwise the other siblings had no additional ocular findings. Systemic investigation, physical examination, and laboratory tests were within normal limits. CONCLUSION: Bilateral isolated CRS along with punctate lens opacities were seen in all siblings from the same family without any systemic and ocular diseases.
