Retinopathy was defined as signs of retinal disease evident through retinal examination or fundus photography such as depigmentation, bone-spicule pigmentation, vascular tortuosity, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) mottling/other changes, macular atrophy/puckering/epiretinal membranes, FAF findings such as a central hyperautofluorescent dot, hyperautofluorescent parafoveal ring, hypoautofluorescent lesions around fovea (double bull's eye), areas of hyper/hypoautofluorescence, and extrafoveal changes, OCT imaging features such as central external limiting membrane (ELM) thickening, RPE disturbance, photoreceptor layer loss, parafoveal retinal atrophy, and outer retinal/intrachoroidal cavities, or electroretinogram studies revealing rod-mediated retinopathy or rod-cone dystrophy. Retinopathy was confirmed in 32 patients, including 25 MPS I, 4 MPS II, 1 MPS IVA, and 2 MPS VI. Five participants were first diagnosed with retinopathy with clinical examination, while 31 participants were identified on UWF colour fundus photography supported by FAF and OCT. 21 patients exhibited ERG abnormalities consistent with retinopathy.
