Abstract EN
Purpose.
To compare the stages of vitreous degeneration in patients with vitreomacular traction (VMT) and macular holes (MH).
Methods.
A retrospective study was performed analyzing stages of vitreous degeneration of eyes with VMT or MH using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
An analogous review was performed on a control group of eyes with contralateral posterior vitreous detachments.
Thirty-four eyes with VMT/MH and 39 control eyes were reviewed.
Results.
Twenty-seven VMT/MH eyes and 31 control eyes were included.
Eyes with VMT/MH demonstrated significantly earlier stages of vitreous degeneration when compared to the control group (p=0.048) despite significantly greater age (p=0.032).
Conclusions.
Vitreoretinal interface disease is more often associated with a formed vitreous and an intact premacular bursa.
This is contrary to previous assumptions implicating degeneration of vitreous as a precipitating factor of interface disease when in conjunction with abnormal vitreomacular separation.
