Conservative Management of Persistent Pupillary Membranes in Young Adult

Abstract

Pupillary membranes are mostly encountered in infant. They present the remnants of anterior tonica vasculosa lentis which nourishes the lens during fetal life, their regression generally begins from the sixth month of gestation. However in some cases they may persist and cause a visual impairment .the management of PPM depends on the size of pupillary aperture, the extent of the membrane, and its visual impact.
