What is Marfan Syndrome
Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder, so affects many structures, including the skeleton, lungs, eyes, heart and blood
vessels. The disease is characterized by unusually long limbs, and is believed to have affected Abraham Lincoln. It is named for
Antoine Marfan, the French pediatrician who first described it in 1896.
What are the symptoms
More than half of all people with Marfan syndrome experience
dislocation of one or both lenses of the eye. The lens may be
slightly higher or lower than normal and may be shifted off to one
side. The dislocation may be minimal, or it may be pronounced and
obvious. Retinal detachment is a
possible serious complication of this disorder. Many people with
Marfan syndrome are also nearsighted
(myopic), and some can develop early
glaucoma (high pressure within the eye) or
cataracts (the eye's lens loses its
clearness).
Below is a list of signs and symptoms of Marfan Syndrome. Note that Marfan
syndrome symptoms usually refer to various symptoms known to a
patient, but the phrase Marfan syndrome signs may refer to those
signs only noticeable by a doctor:
Tallness
Thinness
Skeletal abnormalities
Long bones
Long fingers
Spider-like fingers
Long legs
Long arms
Long toes
Loose joints
Narrow face
Protruding sternum
Indented sternum
Curvature of the spine (scoliosis)
Flat feet
Eye abnormalities
Lens abnormality
Lens dislocation
Myopia
Heart abnormalities and related
symptoms |
Aorta enlargement
Abnormal valve motion
Heart murmur
Aortic dilation
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Palpitations
Nervous system problems
Dural ectasia
Radiated abdominal pain
Leg pain
Leg numbness
Leg weakness
Skin abnormalities
Stretch marks
Breathing problems - generally rare despite the lung abnormalities
Sleep-related breathing disorders
Snoring
Sleep apnea

People with Marfan syndrome tend to have excessively long bones and
are commonly thin, with long, "spider-like" fingers. Other problems
include skeletal malformations, abnormal position of the lens of the
eye, and enlargement at the beginning part of the aorta, the major
vessel carrying blood away from the heart. If left untreated, an
enlarged aorta can lead to hemorrhage and even death.
What causes Marfan Syndrome
This disorder results from mutations in the gene that makes
fibrillin-1, a protein important to connective tissue. |

Testimonials: |
"...I can honestly say Eyerobics has been the best thing that has happened to me. After four eye operations, 12 years in glasses and then contact lenses, and still having problems, I started the Eyerobics program. In two weeks I started getting results and such clear vision I removed my contacts and have never used them since.
My eye specialist in Melbourne told me my eyes were great. I wouldn't need glasses or contacts again. I couldn't be happier with the results, so simple and yet noticing
each day the major improvements."

".. .for many years I have been suffering from Myopia or nearsightedness until I tried your program. Now after two weeks I have noticed such great improvements in my eyesight. I am now able to read road signs clearly and even better: I can see my wife when she is standing far away needing my attention!
Thank you for your eyesight improvement program. I am very happy with the results (and so is my wife!)."

" ... after doing your program for three weeks I am now capable of reading even fine print without glasses. I used to be farsighted, but my eye specialist told me last week I no longer have Hyperopia !!
Thank you for this fantastic program that has made a huge difference in my life!"

"... Within twelve days I could do hand sewing without glasses and can now read without glasses. It is just such a wonderful release from always having to remember to carry my glasses everywhere.
Several of my work colleagues are amazed they can see when they wear my pinhole glasses and will be contacting you for a video. Thank you so much for making the video and giving me the opportunity to heal my failing vision. I can't believe how easy it has been to improve my eyesight."
