| Summary: | Persistent pupillary membrane represents a congenital remnant of the anterior tunica vasculosa lentis. It can be associated with other
ocular pathologies. These membranes can cause deprivation or anisometropic amblyopia. The choice of treatment depends on the
patient’s age and the characteristics of the membranes. In this paper, we report the findings in a 21-year-old female patient with
bilateral persistent pupillary membranes, amblyopia, and cataract. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 70-2) |
