Japanese Patent JP2018039847
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method to surgically remove a vitreous with improved accuracy, precision, and completeness.SOLUTION: The invention relates to compositions, methods, and uses for protein-based, long-lasting agents for injection into the vitreous humor in mammalian eyes. The invention also relates to the use of such compositions during ophthalmic surgery, for example, during vitrectomy surgery, and their use as biosensors. In certain aspects, the method comprises injecting a vitreous-delineating composition into the eye in an effective amount to allow the vitreous to be visible to a surgeon while simultaneously maintaining the view of intraocular structures such as the retina, thereby enabling the surgeon to alleviate the disorder in a safer and more efficacious manner.SELECTED DRAWING: None
