Persistent pupillary membrane: successful medical management
S. D. Miller and G. F. Judisch
Persistent pupillary membranes usually undergo considerable atrophy during
the first year of life. A minimum pupillary diameter of 1.5 mm is necessary
for normal retinal image formation. Mydriatics, fixation pattern
determination, and occlusion therapy as indicated can obviate the need for
coreoplasty in patients with an extensive persistence of the pupillary
membrane. We successfully treated a patient who had an almost total
persistence of the pupillary membrane.
