NTBC has revolutionized the management of tyrosinaemia type I, although animal experiments have shown that long-term administration may produce corneal opacities analogous to those in tyrosinaemia type II. We have assessed the prevalence of ocular side-effects in 11 tyrosinaemia type I patients on NTBC attending the Birmingham Children's Hospital. Despite high plasma tyrosine concentrations in some patients, they did not experience symptoms or signs of ocular toxicity.
