We report the case of a patient with Gaucher disease (GD) type 3b, with a homozygous GBA gene mutation (c.1448T > C p.L483P) (L444P). Ocular findings characteristic of this mutation are described, including vitreous condensation and macular edema. To our knowledge this is the first case reported in Colombia with these characteristics. A review of the ocular manifestations of this disease is also presented.
