Conservative Management of Persistent Pupillary Membranes in Young Adult
Abstract
\xa0Pupillary membranes are mostly encountered in infants. 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 the pupillary aperture, the extent of the membrane, and its visual impact.
