Oh no! What problems could arise if untreated?

Unfortunately, children from ages 1-3 could face learning difficulties and delays in growth. Let's take a look at what other problems could crop up.

Eyes

The eyes of children develop severe nearsightedness after one year of age. If this is not treated, lens dislocation may occur, which means the lens of the eye can become loose and move out of place. 

If untreated, it can lead to Glaucoma and even blindness. 

Bones

Adults will grow up to be tall and skinny. They will have thin and long bones and next time develop osteoporosis

Blood vessels

Homocystinuria can lead to blood clots. This can cause problems such as stoke and heart disease.
