Persistent Pupillary Membrane (PPM) is a condition where remnants of the pupillary membrane, which covers the anterior surface of the lens during embryonic development, sustains as thin, web-like strands of connective or vascular tissue across the pupil. It rarely interferes with vision and usually deteriorates of its own accord. In rare, severe cases, it can be treated with laser eye surgery.

Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers? You failed to mention that people with this condition also tend to have significantly more webbing between their finger, uncanny ability to breath in water and their voices have a garbled quality even when on dry land. ;)
