Abstract

Persistent pupillary membrane ia a congenital anomaly which waa resulted from incomplete atrophy of the fetal vascular arcades and its associated mesodermal tissue derived from the primitive annular vessels. Authors experienced a case (female, 17 years old) of thick persistent pupillary membrane of both eyes which were required complete removal of these membranes under operating microscope. Her corrected vision has improved up to 0.5 (Rt. eye) from 0.1 and 0.7 (Lt eye) from 0.2 without diplopia after operation.
