Both sexes affected; deficiency of α-L-iduronidase; increased urinary dermatan and heparan sulfate; fibrous long-spacing collagen on histopathologic examination; least severe form of mucopolysaccharidosis.

Ocular: Night blindness; fields may show general constriction; ring scotomata; diffuse corneal haze to marked corneal clouding (progressive); bushy eyebrows; coarse eyelashes; optic atrophy; anisocoria; cataracts; proptosis; acid mucopolysaccharide deposits in the iris and sclera; tapetoretinal degeneration; glaucoma.
