Eyes
Excess nearsightedness is the most common effect of Marfan syndrome on the eye, and it is mostly noticed late because it is very common and exists in other conditions, so it is very advisable to visit your eye doctor frequently so it can be treated on time to prevent permanent blindness. An ophthalmologist recommends glasses or contact lenses with a concave lens, and sometimes laser surgery is carried out depending on how complicated it is. People with Marfan syndrome also develop an eye condition called glaucoma caused by elevated pressure in the eyeballs, and vision loss resulting from glaucoma cannot be cured but can be prevented from getting worse.

Bones and Joints
Regular visits to the hospital help detect changes in the spine, thorax, and other joints in the body. To prevent complications, patients are advised to avoid sporting activities like gymnastics, climbing, heavy weightlifting, and scuba diving. In severe conditions, Medical doctors prescribe surgery because abnormal changes in the spine could affect the function of the lungs.
Conclusion
Most of the symptoms in Marfan syndrome are common to so many other medical conditions, so the key to fighting it is early detection. If you notice any abnormality, visit the hospital.
