Vitreomacular Adhesion- Risk Factor for Wet ARMD

Posted By Dr. Ari Weitzner On April 25, 2009 @ 10:20 pm In Retina | Comments Disabled

I read a fascinating article in AJO yesterday that showed nicely how unilateral wet ARMD is often associated with vitreomacular traction syndrome (VMT), demonstrated with OCT. Seems reasonable that those at high risk might get intravit injection of vitreolysis agent to precipitate PVD to reduce the risk. Interestingly, it’s well known that those with PVD are protected from NVD secondary to DM. Retina- that’s where the action is!
