³M.D. Professor, Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul/TURKEY In this report, we evaluated the surgical management and visual outcome in both eyes of a 14-month-old patient with multipl ocular pathologies including microphthalmos, microcornea, microcoria, pupillary membrane, and congenital cataract. Membrane excision and cataract extraction were followed by secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) implantation in both eyes. No intra- or post-operative complications were seen. The patient followed by regular ophthalmologic evaluation during 5 years and appropriate visual rehabilitation techniques were applied. Her most recent visual acuity was 20/100 in both eyes. Our experience with this patient suggests that regular ophthalmic examination, refractive correction and visual rehabilitation besides selection of appropriate surgical method can be helpful in obtaining satisfactory visual results of managing patients with similar clinical findings.
