Secondary endpoints included postinjection visual acuity and rates of outer retinal attenuation and full-thickness macular hole (MH) closure.PURPOSE: To determine treatment outcomes of intravitreal ocriplasmin in symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion.RESULTS: The 35 subjects included were of mean age 69 years, 66% female, and 71% phakic. Eleven subjects (31%) had macular comorbidities. Average adhesion diameter was 571 mum, with mean 7.9 months duration of symptoms. Nine subjects (26%) had epiretinal membrane and 6 (17%) had MH (mean diameter 186 mum). Mean preinjection logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution visual acuity was 0.46, and improved to 0.33 at final follow-up. Fifteen eyes (43%) achieved adhesion release at mean 10 days post injection. One of 6 MH (17%) closed. Transient outer retinal attenuation occurred in 10 of 35 cases (29%), with 8 of 10 (80%) achieving adhesion release. One subject (3%) developed a retinal detachment. Adhesion resolution was more likely in patients with younger age (P = .04), absence of comorbidities (P = .02), small adhesion diameter (P = .005), short adhesion duration (P = .03), and transient outer retinal attenuation (P = .008).All authors: Berinstein DM, Lai MM, Patel A, Raevis J, Warrow DJFiscal year: FY2015Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2015-03-17

Secondary endpoints included postinjection visual acuity and rates of outer retinal attenuation and full-thickness macular hole (MH) closure.

PURPOSE: To determine treatment outcomes of intravitreal ocriplasmin in symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion.
