2572: hereditary lens subluxation

Close-up image of an eye showing hereditary lens subluxation, with a highlighted subluxed crystalline lens. Text asks about the approach to the case.

When we see hereditary lens subluxation in a younger patient, we should think of systemic conditions which can be associated with this such as Marfan Syndrome and homocystinuria, among others. There can also be other ocular findings as well, so a thorough examination of both eyes can be very helpful. The question is how will you replace this subluxed crystalline lens with an IOL and secure it for good long term stability? What would be your approach?
