Ectopia lentis

Ectopia lentis (Dislocation of lens) is seen in Marfans syndrome & Homocystinuria , but in one the dislocation is up (and outward) while in the other it goes down (and inward).
Remember that " urine goes down and into closet ". So lens get displaced down and inward in Homocysteinuria. And lens get displaced up and outward in Marfans syndrome (Opposite of above).
