Abstract

Approval of ocriplasmin for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion widened therapeutic options. New classification of VMI based on OCT allows to precisely enroll patient for ocriplasmin treatment. Indications for treatment include: symptomatic VMA, often connected with VMT and MH. Based on multicentered clinical trial best outcome is expected in cases with VMA < 1500 μm and MH < 250 μm.
