Vitreomacular traction syndrome: New non-surgical treatments

Abstract

introduction: Vitreomacular traction syndrome is described as a maculopathy in which incomplete vitreous detachment associated with macular traction and visual acuity decrease occurs. clinical case: We present the case of a 54-year-old female with bilateral vitreomacular traction syndrome not coincident in time. In the right eye, it resolved spontaneously after 12 months of follow-up. The left eye was treated by pharmacological vitreolysis with ocriplasmin (JETREA®, Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA), achieving functional and anatomical recovery in 3 months. Discussion: Enzymatic vitreolysis achieves a fundamental early treatment to obtain good results that allow maximum preservation of visual function and retinal anatomy.
