Persistent pupillary membrane (PPM) is due to incomplete involution of tunica vasculosa lentis which normally disappears by the end of 8th–9th month of gestation.[1],[2] Dense bilateral hyperplastic PPM is a rare occurrence with high risk of causing amblyopia and cataract in early age.[3],[4] In our case, despite central thick bi-lateral PPM [Figure 1], the patient did not develop amblyopia due to stenopic effect of pseudo-pupillary apertures and was conservatively managed with spectacles. Medical, laser therapy and surgical treatment have been reported early.[4],[5],[6] Ophthalmologists need to recognize this condition early and treat them on individual case based approach. | Figure 1: Thick dense hyperplastic persistent pupillary membrane with multiple pseudo-pupil in right (a) and left eye (b) (undilated view), (c) after dilatation in right eye, (d) retro-illumination view of the left eye
