Type your tag names separated by a space and hit enter Abstract A rare case of congenital bilateral ectopia lentis et pupillae (ELEP) is reported in a 32 year old female presenting with complaints of diminution of vision in both eyes. [unboundmedicine.com]

His visual acuity (VA) at presentation was 6/12 right with 14.50/ 2.00 30 and 6/12 left with 14.50/ 0.75 180. In March 1999 he re-presented complaining of intermittent blurred vision in his left eye. [nature.com]

  Our study presented detailed clinical manifestations, including some novel ophthalmic findings, such as pupillary abnormality, different types of glaucoma, and progressive hyperopia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  There were no areas of iris atrophy, pupillary abnormalities, or iris transillumination in any of the 18 patients examined or their relatives. [cags.org.ae]

  According to him, absence or hypoplasia of the dilator muscle of the pupil manifesting as corectopia also suggested neuroectodermal origin of ectopia lentis associated with pupillary abnormalities. [ijo.in]

  The lens is the transparent structure inside the eye that focuses light rays onto the retina (the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light, and creates impulses that go through the optic nerve to the brain). [marfan.org]

Diagnosis of the ectopia lentis et pupillae is fundamental not only to evaluate the risk, prognosis and treatment, but also to assist in differentiating other syndromes with systemic impairment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Complications An anterior dislocation/subluxation carries greater complications than a posterior one. Such complications include: acute glaucoma corneal injury iridal injury Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]

PROGNOSIS • Good visual prognosis with early intervention and routine follow-up. • Even in patients requiring lensectomy most achieve vision of 20/40 or better ( 1 ). – If not complicated by untreated amblyopia. [entokey.com]

Prognosis An individual’s prognosis depends on any underlying ocular or systemic disease, the degree of subluxation, and the management strategy pursued. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Pathology Etiology trauma systemic and syndromic disorders Marfan syndrome typically upwards and out most common spontaneous cause 2 homocystinuria - typically downwards Weil-Marchesani syndrome Ehlers-Danlos syndrome hereditary (or isolated) ectopia [radiopaedia.org]

EPIDEMIOLOGY Incidence • Marfan disease 4–6/100,000 births ( 1 ) and approximately 60–75% have ectopia lentis. • Homocystinuria 1/200,000 births ( 1 ) and approximately 80–85% have ectopia lentis. Prevalence Unknown. [entokey.com]

Epidemiology Frequency  A rare condition.  Incidence in the general population is unknown. Mortality/Morbidity  Can cause marked visual disturbance, depending the degree of lens displacement and the underlying etiology Sex  More common in males. [slideshare.net]
