Intravitreal clindamycin should be considered in the differential diagnosis of crystalline retinopathy. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2024;55:XX–XX.]
The differential diagnosis of crystalline retinopathies is broad and includes systemic diseases such as Kjellin's syndrome, Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, hyperornithinemia, oxalosis, and infantile cystinosis; primary ocular diseases such as macular telangiectasia, [...]
