This syndrome is characterized by bilateral congenital blepharoptosis, ectopia lentis and high myopia.
Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →The limited documentation surrounding blepharoptosis-myopia-ectopia lentis syndrome is largely due to its extreme rarity, affecting fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 people worldwide. This rarity results in a lack of systematic clinical studies and comprehensive data collection, making it challenging to fully characterize the clinical features and management strategies associated with the condition. Ongoing research may help to shed light on this syndrome in the future.
To navigate your care effectively, consider consulting with an ophthalmologist who specializes in congenital eye disorders, particularly those with expertise in lens dislocation and high myopia. While there are currently no specific patient organizations for this syndrome, you may find resources through the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) at rarediseases.org. Additionally, exploring genetic counseling services could provide insights into family planning and risk assessment, especially given the autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
