The influence of vitreomacular adhesion on the pathogenesis and course of age-related macular degeneration
This article describes the age-related changes in vitreous and different types of posterior vitreous detachment. Possible effect of normal and pathological posterior vitreous detachment (in particular vitreomacular adhesion and traction syndrome) on the age-related macular degeneration course are considered. Vitrectomy and pharmacological vitreolysis potentials in the treatment of vitreomacular adhesion are discussed.
