Abstract

SummaryEnzymatic vitreolysis for the treatment of vitreomacular traction (VMT) and small macular holes with traction instead of pars plana vitrectomy is a hot debate currently.Ocriplasmin may give a fast and easy solution to the VMT and small macular holes with traction with minimal patient's discomfort and only trasient side effects.Pars plana vitrectomy the only alternative management to the above mentioned retinal diseases it is an invasive procedure, may be traumatic to the macula, and carries a risk of post‐operatively complications such as an epiretinal membrane, nerve fiber layer defect and cataract formation.Therefore enzymatic vitreolysis should be considered as a strong treatment option.
