Abstract
The ocular manifestations of Marfan Syndrome (MFS) are varied. They include myopia, corneal flattening, ectopia lentis (EL), and retinal detachments. The prevalence of these in MFS is unclear, though a recent survey of the UK Marfan Trust, suggested that 30 % of patients with MFS had EL, and 15 % had had retinal detachments [1]. We will discuss the most important of these features below.
