Abstract

Case report: This article reports the case of a 50-year-old female patient who presented with reduced visual acuity of 0.8 p and metamorphopsia of the left eye caused by focal vitreomacular traction and who was treated with intravitreal Jetrea® (ocriplasmin). After injection the patient suffered from progressive nyctalopia and visual field defects. Electroretinography (ERG) showed decreased amplitudes and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed decreased reflectivity in the ellipsoid layer that persisted for 2 months after treatment. Conclusion: Before injection of Jetrea® a detailed clarification of such potential side effects is necessary to increase patient compliance in the follow-up.
