    Persistent pupillary membranes in infants require timely surgical intervention. Early treatment prevents amblyopia (lazy eye) and ensures normal visual development.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Surgical Science

    Background:

    • Persistent pupillary membranes (PPMs) are congenital anomalies that can obstruct vision.
    • Sporadic, isolated PPMs can present as dense membranes, challenging visual axis patency.

    Observation:

    • Two infants presented with dense, extensive PPMs unresponsive to mydriatic agents.
    • The first infant was 3 days old, and the second was 6 weeks old at presentation.

    Findings:

    • Surgical removal of PPMs was performed on both infants at 5 days and 6 months of age, respectively.
    • Both surgeries were uncomplicated, with subsequent normal visual development observed.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical intervention within the first weeks or months of life is crucial for preventing amblyopia.

  • Following surgery, optical correction and occlusion therapy may be necessary based on individual visual development needs.
