Bilateral vitreomacular traction resolved with a single intravitreal ocriplasmin injection
Abstract:
A 74-year-old woman was referred by her ophthalmologist for evaluation of blurred vision in both eyes over the course of several months, presenting with a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/150 in the right eye and 20/50 in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography showed vitreomacular traction (VMT) bilaterally with a full-thickness macular hole in the right eye; a single intravitreal injection of 125 μg ocriplasmin was administered in the right eye. One week after the injection, BCVA in the right eye improved to 20/60 with release of VMT, and at 3 weeks bilateral release of VMT was observed.
