title: Enlarged pupillary membranes.
abstract: Pupillary membranes are very commonly found on routine microscopic examination of the anterior segment and are usually of no clinical significance. We describe a 4-year-old child with grossly enlarged pupillary membranes that formed a mesh-like arc over the entire pupillary aperture in both eyes. Although these membranous strands were very prominent, the child had normal visual acuity.
