Uveitis: Posterior synechiae, lens deposits, CME, prolonged post-op inflammation, and secondary glaucoma
Uveitis following cataract surgery increases the risk of cystoid macular edema (CME), posterior synechiae, and secondary glaucoma, all of which may lead to delayed visual recovery or permanent visual loss. It is important to make the distinction between patients with pre-existing uveitis who undergo cataract surgery and those with no history of intraocular inflammation who develop uveitis after surgery.

The non-surgical option for vitreoretinal diseases
Ocriplasmin (ThromboGenics) is a first-in-class small molecule delivered through an intravitreal injection that targets fibronectin, laminin, and type IV collagen fibers that adhere the vitreous to the retina. The goal is to create a clean separation of the posterior vitreous cortex and the inner limiting membrane of the retina, thus avoiding a vitrectomy.
