What ocular treatments are used for Marfan syndrome patients?
Comprehensive ophthalmologic care is necessary to achieve the best possible vision in people with Marfan syndrome. Patients with subluxated lenses are treated with glasses or contact lenses whenever possible; surgery may be necessary, but there is a risk of retinal detachment. Individuals with cataracts require lens extraction with or without placement of an intraocular lens. Glaucoma may require treatment with medications or surgery.
