The ocular manifestations of Marfan's syndrome (MS) range from ectopia lentis,
microspherophakia, myopia, glaucoma and retinal detachment. Spontaneous scleral
rupture is a rare complication and recurrent scleral perforation is extremely
rare. We report a rare case of a 26-year-old male with MS who had sequential
recurrent spontaneous scleral rupture which required surgical repair. He suffered
from a similar problem 4?years later in both eyes in a different location, with
overlying thin cystic blebs and hypotony maculopathy. Surgical repair with
preserved scleral donor patch graft and conjunctival autograft in one eye, and
conjunctival advancement in the other eye was performed. This helped stabilise
the eyes, and resulted in complete visual recovery in both eyes.
