    Fundus photograph of the right eye of a 62-year-old female referred with drusen in the right macula. The accompanying OCT scans document the evolution of posterior vitreous separation, with mild vitreomacular traction (VMT) which then spontaneously releases.

  • Evolution of VMT - OCT 3 at 8 months

    Dec 23 2012 by Alex P. Hunyor, MD

    OCT at 8 months showing further development of focal VMT.

    Condition/keywords: vitreomacular traction (VMT)

  • Evolution of VMT - OCT 4 at 12 months

    Dec 23 2012 by Alex P. Hunyor, MD

    At 12 months following initial OCT, there has been complete separation of the posterior cortical vitreous from the fovea, with resolution of the VMT.
