I wonder if this whole marfans thing is connected In anyway to his blindness problem.

yes, it absolutely is. they may have missed diagnosing marfan's back in middle school when he suffered the vision loss because i believe they attributed it to an on-court injury. while that may be true, the same injury that resulted in his retinal detachment would have likely not caused any serious eye injury to one without marfan's. some people with marfan's simply suffer retinal detachment spontaneously.
