Ocriplasmin (microplasmin, ThromboGenics) injected into the vitreous may be another option for treating symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion and macular holes. One injection of the drug seems to weaken the strength of the vitreomacular adhesion associated with pathologic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by targeting the fibronectin, laminin, and collagen fibers that keep the vitreous attached to the macula.
