Abstract
Familial dysautonomia presents a tetrad of symptoms referable to the eye which are quite regularly present and which, in association, are distinctive and virtually diagnostic. These are alacrima, corneal hypesthesia or anesthesia, exodeviation, and pupillary constriction following the local administration of 2.5 per cent methacholine. These manifestations appear to be related to other symptoms of the disease.
