- Observation of pharmacologic induction of PVD. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The primary endpoint of this study is observation of pharmacologic induction of at least a stage 3 PVD, with PVD defined as a complete PVD to the equator except for vitreopapillary adhesion as seen on B-scan Ultrasound and confirmed by OCT where possible by study day 90 as determined by the reading center.
- The secondary endpoints of this study is the observation of a complete stage 4 PVD to the equator including vitreopapillary release as seen by B-scan ultrasound and confirmed by OCT where possible by study day 90 as determined by the reading center. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The secondary endpoints of this study is the observation of a complete stage 4 PVD to the equator including vitreopapillary release as seen by B-scan ultrasound and confirmed by OCT where possible by study day 90 as determined by the reading center.
