Abstract

The authors present a case of congenital pupillary-iris-lens membrane with goniodysgenesis, a unilateral, sporadic, and congenital anomaly with the presence of a vascularized pupillary membrane on the iris surface that further adheres to the posterior embryotoxon. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital to prevent complications such as amblyopia and glaucoma.
