Abstract: One of the main diagnostic criteria for Marfan syndrome is ectopia lentis , which can range from a moderate displacement without symptoms to a substantial dislocation where the lens's equator is in the pupillary axis. This work's goal is to present the case of a 15-year-old patient diagnosed with Marfan syndrome who presented with bilateral opposite lens dislocation.

Keywords: Ocular Hypertonia, Bilateral Lens Dislocation, Marfan Syndrome, Zonular Instability.
