What is vitreomacular traction?
As we grow older the thick vitreous gel that fills the eye shrinks and pulls away from the macula. Sometimes as the vitreous pulls away from the macula, it remains partially stuck and pulls on the surface. This pulling and distortion of the normal macular structure is called vitreomacular traction (VMT).
Is vitreomacular traction serious?
Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome is an eye condition involving the vitreous, the clear gel that fills the inside of the eyeball. It is a vision-threatening condition and can cause symptoms ranging from blurry vision to distorted and blacked-out central vision.

How is vitreomacular traction syndrome different from Irvines syndrome?
In 1967, Jaffe described ‘vitreoretinal traction syndrome’ in 14 patients as a distinct entity. The condition he described mostly affected phakic patients, lacked multicystic macular lesions and fluorescein leakage, and demonstrated vitreoretinal adherence – features differentiating it from Irvine’s syndrome.
Where is the posterior hyaloid of vitreomacular traction syndrome?
The posterior hyaloid usually appears as a hyperreflective and thickened line/band on OCT located posterior to the hyporeflective vitreous and anterior to the retina. The appearance of VMT is accentuated when the sensitivity if the image is increased (by making the image lighter in the OCT machine).
