[Vitreomacular Interface Diseases: Vitreomacular Adhesion, Vitreomacular Traction, Epiretinal Membranes, and Macular Hole].

Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common phenomenon in the aging eye. This review presents the sequence of events due to complicated persistent symptomatic vitreomacular adhesions that exert tractional forces on the macula (vitreomacular traction, VMT; macular hole, MH; epiretinal membrane). Pathologic aspects, clinical features, diagnostic implications, and current management strategies are described. Observation, pharmacologic vitreolysis with Ocriplasmin, and surgical treatment are positioned as treatment options for different diseases.
