Abstract

EDITORIAL The development of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in recent years has been a tremendous advance in the exploration of the posterior pole, to the extent that it has become one of the most useful tools in the daily practice of the retina specialist. It is important not only for diagnosis, or as a research tool for enhancing the knowledge of the retinal anatomy, but also a previous study by means of OCT is nowadays essential to determine the surgical approach of a great part of retinal pathologies. Lately, OCT has also served to discover the existence of an entire range of diseases which heretofore could only be suspected with the resolution level of biomicroscopy, thus opening a new pathway for the possible surgical treatment of these affections by means of vitrectomy. One of these diseases is tractional myopic maculopathy (TMM).
