Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a child with extensive bilateral hyperplastic pupillary membranes and good visual acuity. METHOD: We examined a 9-year-old child with bilateral hyperplastic persistent pupillary membranes present since birth. RESULTS: The patient had a visual acuity of BE, 20/30, stereopsis of 50 seconds of arc, orthophoria, and normal extraocular movements. The remainder of the ophthalmic examination was normal. CONCLUSION: Patients with bilateral hyperplastic pupillary membranes may not require surgical intervention.
