Ocriplasmin and its role in the management of vitreoretinal interface disorders

摘要

The vitreous gel has an outer cortex consisting primarily of type II collagen that is attached to the internal limiting membrane (ILM) consisting primarily of type IV collagen. The vitreous plays a central role in many common and potentially blinding diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and vitreomacular interface disorders; the latter will be the focus here.
