Successful surgical treatment of idiopathic tractional corectopia complicated by persistent pupillae membrane. Case report
The case demonstrates the restoration of pupil position, size, shape, and function in ITC, achieved by atraumatic PPM removal as opposed to sphincterotomy. Preservation of lens transparency and accommodative ability improved VA and prevented amblyopia development. For the first time, surgical anterior embryotoxon removal without complications for the cornea, iris, and anterior chamber angle was described.
