Beside the conservative approach including mydriasis and occlusion therapy, surgical and Nd:YAG laser options are used in the treatment of PPM. In this paper, a case of bilateral PPM treated with Nd:YAG laser in a 25 years old patient is presented. Keywords : Persistent pupillary membrane, Nd:YAG laser
