Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Persistent pupillary membranes (PPMs) are congenital remnants of the fetal pupillary membrane.
  • PPMs can range from fine strands to dense membranes occluding the pupil.
  • Extensive PPMs are associated with other ocular anomalies and can lead to amblyopia.
