Corneal crystals

[nuda]

I have been diagnosed with corneal crystals.  The condition seems to be rare and sometimes caused by multiple myeloma or kidney disease.  However. a bone marrow biospy, MRI and many other blood tests have shown no signs of cancer or kidney disease.  What, if anything, can anyone tell me what the next step should be to determine the cause of this condition?

"corneal crystals" is not a diagnosis it is a finding.

This is good article that discusses the different diagnoses that might cause them:

This information has made a big difference.  At least I now have some idea of somethng other than multiple myeloma as a possible cause.  I will inquire of my doctor about further investigation.


Thanks a lot.
