Patient discussion about lens, crystalline.

Q. My neighbor's kid had a lens dislocation due to Marfan's disease. Is this a contagious thing? My neighbor's have a sweet 8 year old boy. he had a lens dislocation due to a connective tissue disease named Marfan (I think that the name). It sounds like a very serious condition. My boy is playing with this kid several hour a week. should I take him to the GP to see that his is not infected with this marfan thing?

A. Don't worry. Marfan's syndrome is a connective tissue disease that is genetic. This means that You can't "get" this disease. Either you are borne with it or you will never suffer from it.
lens dislocation is a known symptom of marfan's syndrome, and is not connected to infectious diseases.
