Marfan syndrome?
Question:
Answers:
I found this on the NIH website, some of these may be causing your vision abnormalities. Have your eyes checked soon since eye problems are also associated with this syndrome.
Eyes and Vision
Nearsightedness (myopia) is the most common eye problem in people with Marfan syndrome. It can range from mild to severe. People with Marfan syndrome often have astigmatism (a-STIG-ma-tizm), which causes visual distortion and blurred vision.
Dislocation of the lens of the eye (ectopia lentis) is another common complication of Marfan syndrome. It is considered a hallmark of Marfan syndrome because it occurs in very few other conditions. It may affect one or both eyes, and the lens may be higher or lower than normal or shifted off to the side. Vision in the affected eye(s) may be severely affected.
Other, less common eye problems in Marfan syndrome include detached retina, cataracts, and glaucoma. A detached retina occurs when there are holes or tears in the inner lining of the eye. A cataract is a clouding of the lens. Glaucoma occurs as a result of high pressure in the eye. People with Marfan syndrome tend to get cataracts and glaucoma at a younger age than people who do not have Marfan syndrome.
Good Luck!

You should get your eyes checked by a professional soon. Marfan causes swelling in the aorta and other major blood vessels so if it is causing problems with your eyes get it checked out soon. You may need to take the results to your medical doctor too.
All of my cousins have this disease and we are all very close. All of my cousins have glasses because they have dotted vision. I would consult your doctor and see if this is normal for you personally, I mean my cousins have it bad. If you have any other questions about it contact me...I removed the block e-mail lift just for you!! Not too many people actually have the disease
