Neurosensory Macular Retinal Detachment after Intravitreal Ocriplasmin Treated Successfully with Oral Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor
Abstract:Ocriplasmin is an enzymatic drug used intravitreally to lyse focal vitreomacular adhesion and traction. We present a 45-year-old Bahraini female who developed a neurosensory macular retinal detachment from subfoveal fluid collection four weeks after its successful release following an ocriplasmin intravitreal injection.
