Abstract:
Persistent remnants of the pupillary membrane are common but a thick dense persistent pupillary membrane covering all or most of pupil is not often encountered. The authors have recently experienced a case of extensive persistent pupillary membrane in a 4 year-old Korean boy. A well-formed membrane run out from the lesser circle may strectch across the pupil it to a greater exent. This may be provided with five to six irregular apertures. Optical iridotomy was performed in left eye with improvement of vision from L.P to 20/30.
