Abstract
A 21-year-old male with bilateral low visual acuity since childhood was diagnosed with posterior microphthalmos. He underwent scleral windows surgery for one eye. Although visual acuity didn't improve significantly due to amblyopia, the papillomacular fold flattened and reduced in size postoperatively. We suggest early screening and management to prevent amblyopia especially in children of affected families.
