What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Patients Achieving Total Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) Without Creation of an Anatomical Defect

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving total PVD without creation of an anatomical defect (ie, retinal hole, retinal detachment) based on surgeon visualization at the beginning of vitrectomy prior to suction or any other mechanical intervention.

    Time frame: Day 7
