PURPOSE To report a case of spontaneous resolution of idiopathic vitreomacular traction syndrome developed in a healthy young man. METHOD To exam the macular region using Optical coherence tomography (OCT). RESULT OCT examination revealed an incomplete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) which remains broad vitreous adhesion at the macular area. The foveal thickness increase to 573 μm. The ...

BACKGROUND Primary phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) represents a unique clinical entity that behaves differently from RRD associated with PVD. While previous studies have reported the long term findings in the fellow eye of patients with RRD and PVD, the outcome of the fellow eye of patients with RRD without PVD is not known. METHODS C...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Fellow eye prophylaxis for retinal detachment (RD) is still a controversial issue since opinions are not unanimous regarding the kind of lesions to be treated or the method of treatment. This prospective clinical study aimed to follow the course of vitreoretinal conditions in 150 high risk fellow eyes. METHODS 150 consecutive patients with unilateral rhegmatogenous RD were inc...

PURPOSE To establish the necessity for an early follow-up examination after an initial funduscopic examination with negative results for patients with acute, symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). DESIGN Retrospective case-control study and meta-analysis. METHODS Records were reviewed of patients seeking treatment over a 4.5-year period who were diagnosed with an acute, symptomati...

increased vitreoretinal adhesion include lattice degeneration, some post-inflammatory lesions, areas of degenerative modelling, and some vitreous base lesions. These areas of increased adhesion may remain attached, even if the vitreous is detached elsewhere. Sebag and Balazs reported that the posterior vitreous cortex contained a round hole corresponding to the peripapillary attachment. The dia...

PURPOSE To determine the width of the posterior vitreous base in human eyes of different ages and to clarify the nature of the postoral retinovitreous adhesion that underlies the development of juxtabasal retinal tears and retinal detachment after posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). METHODS The posterior limit of the vitreous base was delineated with indocyanine green after mechanical peelin...

We report a case of a patient with a highly hyperopic eye who underwent cataract surgery combined with vitreous surgery to create a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) to prevent choroidal neovascularization (CNV). A 78-year-old man noticed a decrease in his vision due to a cataract in his right eye. The patient had a severe visual loss in his left eye because of a CNV 2 years after a cataract ...

Purpose To evaluate the degree of psychological distress in symptomatic vitreous floater patients and to evaluate whether these psychological factors are associated with the severity of discomfort associated with vitreous floaters. Methods We recruited 61 patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters and 34 controls. The degree of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was evaluated using optical ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of autologous plasmin enzyme as an adjunct to vitrectomy in diabetic macular edema. METHODS Plasmin derived from autologous blood was injected intravitreally into seven eyes 15 min before vitreous surgery. The development and progression of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was followed, and the time required for vitreous removal was measured. Both pre- an...

PURPOSE To assess optical coherence tomography (OCT) for diagnosing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) at the macular region compared to kinetic B-scan ultrasonography. METHODS In the present study, the authors prospectively investigated the frequency of PVD at the posterior pole utilizing ocular kinetic B-mode sonography in 315 eyes of 188 patients (113 female, 75 male; mean age, 72.8 years...
