Ocriplasmin is a protease which has been approved for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). A 63-year-old presented with blurred vision in the left eye and a best corrected visual acuity of 6/18. Optical coherence tomography revealed VMA with an underlying macular hole and she subsequently underwent a left intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. One week after the injection, VMA had been released but with enlargement of the macular hole and a drop in her BCVA to 6/60. This persisted at 1 month after the injection. It is important to warn patients that ocriplasmin may lead to an enlargement of their macular hole with resultant loss in visual acuity.
奥克纤溶酶是一种已被批准用于治疗症状性玻璃体黄斑粘连(VMA)的蛋白酶。一名63岁患者左眼视力模糊,最佳矫正视力为6/18。光学相干断层扫描显示存在VMA并伴有黄斑裂孔,随后她接受了左眼玻璃体内注射奥克纤溶酶。注射后一周,VMA已松解,但黄斑裂孔扩大,其最佳矫正视力降至6/60。注射后1个月时仍维持这种情况。重要的是要告知患者,奥克纤溶酶可能导致黄斑裂孔扩大,从而导致视力下降。
