Abstract
We report a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with impaired vision in the left eye since birth. Examination showed extensive bilateral persistent pupillary membranes associated with microcornea, cornea plana, and central localized posterior keratoconus in both eyes. The uncorrected visual acuity was 0.2 (logMAR) (20/32) in the right eye and 1.9 (logMAR) (20/1300) in the left eye, with no improvement with pinhole. Surgical excision of the membranes was done in both eyes using vitreous microscissors. At 6 months, the best corrected visual acuity was 0.1 (logMAR) (20/25) in the right eye and 1.3 (logMAR) (20/400) in the left eye. No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications were noted.Entities:
