Abstract
An enzymatic method is provided for treating ophthalmic disorders of the mammalian eye. Prevention of neovascularization and the increased rate of clearance from the vitreous of materials toxic to retina is accomplished by administering an amount of hyaluronidase effective to liquefy the vitreous humor of the treated eye without causing toxic damage to the eye. Liquefaction of the vitreous humor increases the rate of liquid exchange from the vitreal chamber. This increase in exchange removes those materials and conditions whose presence causes ophthalmological and retinal damage.
