dc.description.abstract	ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant, connective tissue disorder that affects various systems of the body including the eyes. We present a case of a 22 year old man with Marfan syndrome presented with a painful red left eye. On examination he was diagnosed to have non-necrotising scleritis and microspherophakia. Non-necrotising scleritis with microspherophakia is a rare and arduous situation. This is an interesting case where Hickam’s dictum prevails over its counter argument of Occam’s razor principle.
