Abstract EN
Ocriplasmin is a protease which has been approved for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA).
A 63-year-old presented with blurred vision in the left eye and a best corrected visual acuity of 6/18.
Optical coherence tomography revealed VMA with an underlying macular hole and she subsequently underwent a left intravitreal ocriplasmin injection.
One week after the injection, VMA had been released but with enlargement of the macular hole and a drop in her BCVA to 6/60.
This persisted at 1 month after the injection.
It is important to warn patients that ocriplasmin may lead to an enlargement of their macular hole with resultant loss in visual acuity.
