Congenital fibrovascular pupillary membrane

These eyes are usually treated with a membranectomy and pupilloplasty with or without a lensectomy. After fulfilling the anterior chamber with the viscoelastic, the pupil was mechanically distended and subsequently the fibrovascular membrane was resected (sphincterectomy was not required). For patients who require only membranectomy, it is important to be careful as not to cause traumatic cataract, by accidently touching the anterior capsule of the crystalline. In the postoperative period, the left eye was treated with prednisolone acetate 1% and cyclopentolate chloridrate 1% eyedrops. Crystalline lenses remained clear on both eyes. Posterior to that, glasses were prescribed and occlusion antisupressive therapy in partial time, of contralateral eye.
