Increased crystalline lens thickness and phacomorphic glaucoma in patients with Fanconi anemia.
We describe 2 siblings with Fanconi anemia (FA). One developed phacomorphic glaucoma, and both had increased crystalline lens thickness, features that have not been reported in patients with FA. The possible pathogenesis and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
