We expanded the genetic spectrum of Traboulsi syndrome with a novel frameshift variant in the ASPH gene. We showed that lensectomy followed by gas-permeable contact lenses is an efficient therapeutic approach to treat lens subluxation in Traboulsi syndrome. However, lifelong follow-up is crucial to avoid (late) postoperative complications.
