Excerpt

The role of vitreomacular traction in the pathogenesis of many macular conditions has generated much interest, not least because spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) has enabled us to examine the vitreoretinal interface with higher resolution, in 3 dimensions and from different perspectives. In this issue, Martinez and Ophir add another condition, that of macular oedema following retinal vein occlusion, to the already long list of macular diseases in which vitreous plays a putative role [1] . In a retrospective and observational study, the authors found nine of 22 patients (five of 11 with CRVO and four of 11 with BRVO) had what they called extrafoveal traction. …
