No disadvantage seen in eyes treated surgically for macular hole after ocriplasmin failure

A study published by the German EXPORT study group came to reassuring conclusions concerning vitrectomy surgery in eyes in which previous ocriplasmin treatment for macular hole has failed. The functional and anatomical results were comparable in these eyes to those of eyes that proceeded directly to surgery without ocriplasmin treatment.
