Pharmacologic vitreolysis with plasmin: Clinical studies

Abstract

Various retinal disorders, e.g., vitreo-macular traction syndrome, macular hole, macular pucker, and diabetic macular edema, have been attributed changes at the vitreoretinal interface resulting from traction and membranes caused by anomalous posterior vitreous attachment [1, 2]. The purpose of vitreous surgery is to break the links between the vitreous and the retina at the fovea to relieve vitreous traction and restore normal foveal configuration.
