COMPARING INTRAVITREAL AIR AND GAS FOR THE TREATMENT OF VITREOMACULAR TRACTION

Purpose: To compare the effect of intravitreal injections of air with gas on vitreomacular traction (VMT) release and attempt to analyze predictive factors for success. Methods: The medical records of patients with symptomatic VMT undergoing intravitreal injections (0.3 mL) of either octafluoropropane (C 3 F 8 ) or air were retrospectively reviewed. The VMT release (primary end point) and the best-corrected visual acuity (secondary end point)...
