2024年8月27日 · Vitreomacular traction (VMT) occurs when vitreous in the aging eye doesn’t detach completely from the macula. VMT can cause vision loss if left untreated.

2020年4月1日 · Patients with mild VMT may have no/minimal symptoms, while many experience reduced sharpness and/or distortion of central vision. Flashes of light in vision may also be reported. In more severe cases, the tugging can cause significant changes to the anatomy of the macula, resulting in a dark spot in central vision.

Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome is a potentially visually significant disorder of the vitreoretinal interface characterized by an incomplete posterior vitreous detachment with the persistently adherent vitreous exerting tractional pull on the macula and resulting in morphologic alterations and consequent decline of visual function.

2025年1月20日 · Vitreomacular traction (VMT) is characterised by abnormal adhesion of the posterior cortical vitreous with the macula causing distortion of the foveal contour and associated...

2024年6月3日 · For patients with mild VMT or minimal symptoms, observation may be a viable option. This approach is often chosen when the condition is not causing significant visual impairment and does not pose an immediate threat to the patient’s health or quality of life.

VMT syndrome is most common in older adults and women due to age-related vitreous changes and vitreous liquefaction associated with declining post-menopausal estrogen levels, respectively. Other risk factors include: High myopia (extreme nearsightedness) Exudative (wet) age-related macular degeneration; Diabetic macular edema; Retinal vein ...

2014年5月1日 · Thanks to advances in imaging technologies, clinicians are identifying vitreomacular interface diseases earlier than ever before. And the fact that mild cases can now be picked up by OCT raises questions about treatment.

Summary: Observation may be an appropriate initial recommendation for patients with mild VMT. When treatment is necessary, pharmacologic vitreolysis with ocriplasmin is an effective nonsurgical therapeutic option. Careful patient selection improves success rates with ocriplasmin.

Vitreomacular traction (VMT) happens when vitreous has an unusually strong attachment to the retina in the back of the eye. As the eye ages, the vitreous doesn’t detach completely from the macula as it should. The vitreous then pulls on the macula, which …

2024年10月20日 · Patients with mild VMT who are asymptomatic or have few symptoms may benefit from a conservative approach of observation. In some cases, VMT resolves spontaneously as the vitreous humor continues to detach from the macula. Regular follow-up visits with an eye care provider are critical for monitoring the condition.
