Hyperplastic persistent pupillary membrane.
OBJECTIVE
To report a child with extensive bilateral hyperplastic pupillary membranes and good visual acuity.


METHODS
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.


CONCLUSIONS
Patients with bilateral hyperplastic pupillary membranes may not require surgical intervention.
