Scleral thinning and scleral perforation have been reported in Marfan's syndrome, but they have essentially been frank perforations necessitating surgical repair. This report describes a patient presenting with paralimbic scleromalacia in which a bleb was seen without a frank perforation. The surgical treatment is described.

Key words: Marfan syndrome, Sclera
