Thanks, Dr. Jones!
Any time Paula. Looking forward to more of your imagery to appear here.
Can the patient see through that?
To my knowledge, most cases are not this severe. However, to answer your question, in this particular instance, I do not have any information on this patient, though I suspect they were blind in this eye until the condition was resolved.
This patient had bilateral pupillary membranes – this eye had the more significant membrane. This image was taken just before the child was taken to surgery to remove his lens and provide a better view through the pupil.
