All other fluidic settings were standardized. Surgical metrics and a range of imaging and clinical variables were measured pre- and postoperatively on days 1, 21 and 40.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Seventy eyes from 70 patients underwent surgery and completed follow-up. Forty-one patients had diabetic retinopathy and 29 had glaucoma. There was no difference in any of the recorded surgical metrics including cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) between the two randomization groups (mean CDE 6.5 versus 6.1 percent seconds in the HIGH and LOW groups respectively, p = 0.68). There were no patients in either group with posterior capsule rupture or other intraoperative complications. There was no significant difference in the number of patients with raised intraocular pressure (IOP) on day 1. Seven (21.2%) patients in the LOW and 5 (13.3%) in the HIGH group had slit lamp detectable corneal oedema on day 1, which had all resolved by day 21. There were no between group differences for visual acuity, IOP, corneal thickness, and any of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) acquired measures at any of the time points.

Gene therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for NV-AMD that may improve these outcomes. Potential risks of gene therapy include a potential immune response that may be elicited by the vector, accidental activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppresor genes leading to malignant transformation via insertational mutagenesis and integration of the viral DNA inserts into the host's DNA.
