Posterior Zonules and Lens Extraction

Corneal biomechanics and their association with severity of lens dislocation in Marfan syndrome

“…However, the similar abnormal brils is widely distributed throughout ocular tissues such as ciliary zonule, sclera and cornea stroma. [2,22,40] Structural changes of cornea such as attening and thinning cornea have been reported by previous studies, [21,24] and this, taken together with differences in higher order corneal aberrations between Marfan patients and healthy controls, indicate that the morphology and the biomechanical characteristics of the cornea may also differ between Marfan and healthy eyes. [50] Although previous studies have reported special corneal morphological changes among Marfan patients and have identi ed the value of corneal biological parameters as a differential diagnosis marker for Marfan individuals, no studies have been conducted to investigate biomechanical features of the cornea among Marfan patients.…”

Ocular Findings as the Most Striking Manifestation of a SMAD3 Variant

“…1986; Sakai et al. 2016; Streeten and Licari 1983). Variants in FBN1 have been associated with ectopia lentis as part of the presentation of MFS (Chandra et al.…”

“…FBN1 encodes fibrillin-1 molecules, and variants in this gene have been associated with MFS (Dietz et al 1991). Fibrillin-1 is a major component of the microfibrils in the extracellular matrix of the ciliary zonules of the eye (Hubmacher et al 2014;Sakai et al 1986;Sakai et al 2016;Streeten and Licari 1983). Variants in FBN1 have been associated with ectopia lentis as part of the presentation of MFS (Chandra et al 2015;Comeglio et al 2002).…”
