Pneumatic vitreolysis resolves focal vitreomacular traction
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Pneumatic vitreolysis with limited face-down positioning appears to be a viable treatment option for resolving focal vitreomacular traction and closing select stage 2 macular holes, a speaker here said.According to a study presented by Clement Chan, MD, FACS, at the American Ophthalmological Society meeting, there has been a resurgence of interest in the use of pneumatic vitreolysis for treating vitreomacular traction, mostly because of limitations in the success rate, cost and potential side effects found with use of Jetrea (ocriplasmin, ThromboGenics) for this purpose.
