The diagnosis of a bilateral lens luxation must be followed by complete systemic examination and genetic analysis of the FBN1 gene in order to discard MFS due to its severe systemic complications.

To evaluate the predictability, efficacy, and stability of myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), we present the results of 18 months of 178 consecutive myopic eyes. Results demostrated a stable change in the power of the cornea with long-term corneal clarity. (Refract Corneal Surg (suppl) 1993;9:S108-S110.)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
