Patients with ectopia lentis commonly present with a marked loss in visual acuity in addition to a number of possibly accompanying ocular complications including cataract, myopia, and retinal detachment. [scicrunch.com]

However, a few families with dislocated lenses have been reported in which no evidence of defective collagen is present. The lens is most commonly displaced temporally, often creating myopic astigmatism. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Patients with ectopia lentis commonly present with a marked loss in visual acuity that varies with the degree of lens subluxation in addition to a number of possibly accompanying ocular complications including cataract, myopia, retinal detachment, and [cags.org.ae]

  The flexion contractures of the small joints tended to improve with age. There was no evidence of cardiovascular involvement in any of the three families. [nejm.org]

  Symptoms of lens dislocation include: Nearsightedness (myopia) Astigmatism (blurred vision due to an irregularity in the curvature of the front surface of the eye, the cornea) Fluctuating or blurred vision To learn more about Ectopia Lentis syndrome and [marfan.org]

  Affected individuals often have nearsightedness (myopia) and can have an irregular curvature of the lens or a structure that covers the front of the eye (the cornea), which causes blurred vision (astigmatism). [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  She originally presented to her local ophthalmologist with complaints of blurred vision of gradual onset; she had last been checked for glasses 2 years earlier. [glaucomatoday.com]

• Pupillary Abnormality

  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]

• Impulsivity

  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]

• Tremulousness

  All patients in both families had normal clear corneas and deep anterior chambers with tremulous irides. 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]

  In younger children less cooperative with a slit lamp examination, examination with a penlight may demonstrate tremulousness of the iris (iridodonesis) [14] Grading systems for ectopia lentis have been proposed to facilitate and standardize studies, as [eyewiki.aao.org]

Metabolic workups revealed normal bicarbonate and ammonia levels, and a normal level of plasma uric acid 5.6 mg/dl (normal reference 2.4-7.2). [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Although no clear epidemiological data is available, it has been suggested that congenital EL may have a prevalence of six per 100 000. 22 It is probable that the second most common cause of EL is a condition termed isolated ectopia lentis (IEL). 22, [nature.com]

De novo mutations in the FBN1 gene account for about 25-30% of diagnoses. [5] [6] Pathophysiology The cytogenic location of FBN1 is 15q21.1, which is the long arm of chromosome 15 (Fig 1). [eyewiki.org]

Similar to isolated ectopia lentis, the ADAMTSL4 gene mutations that cause ectopia lentis et pupillae lead to decreased production of microfibrils or the formation of impaired microfibrils, which prevents the proper anchoring of certain structures in [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

In all cases, timely optical correction is important for prevention of amblyopia. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Congenital EL remains stable from early childhood and is strongly associated with FBN1 mutations, which strongly supports the MFS diagnosis and can be used to provide preventive treatment for atypical and childhood patients with MFS. [molvis.org]
