PURPOSE
We report a case of one-step operation of persistent pupillary membrane removal, phacoemulsification, and posterior chamber lens implantation that was performed in a patient with persistent pupillary membrane and brunescent cataracts in both eyes. CASE SUMMARY: A 64-year-old male with no baseline disease visited our clinic with bilateral decreased visual acuity. His best corrected visual acuity at first visit was 0.1 in the right eye and 0.2 in the left eye. On anterior segment examination, both bilateral persistent pupillary membranes and brunescent cataracts were observed. First, we surgically removed the left pupillary membrane and performed phacoemulsification using posterior chamber lens implantation via one-stage operation. After one week, the same operation was performed for the right eye using the same method. At 6-months postoperative, his best corrected visual acuity was 0.2 in the right eye and 0.8 in the left eye. No complications such as anterior segment inflammation, uveitis, or intraocular pressure elevation were observed during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: We report a case of one-step operation of persistent pupillary membrane removal and cataract operation, which can improve visual acuity without any complications. |
