The medical management of ectopia lentis involves refractive correction as well as co-management of any associated systemic disease. Surgical management remains a challenge, as inherent defects in the lens capsule make implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) difficult. Multiple visual rehabilitative measures are available such as aphakic contact lenses or spectacles, capsular bag fixation with implantation of in-the-bag IOL, iris-fixated, and scleral-fixated IOL.

- - The study investigates a new genetic link between certain variants and congenital glaucoma within a family affected by GAPO syndrome, along with other unrelated cases of juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) and primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).
- - Researchers identified three girls with GAPO syndrome from a consanguineous family, two of whom had congenital glaucoma, and discovered a unique mutation in all affected siblings, indicating a potential common genetic factor.
- - Additional findings revealed rare variants shared among other patients with JOAG and PCG, suggesting the need for further research to understand how these genetic variations may contribute to the development of these glaucomas.
