Abstract
Strong adhesions exist normally between the vitreous cortex and the retina in the macula (1). They may play a role in the occurrence and prognosis of macular diseases, particularly macular breaks, preretinal macular fibrosis (idiopathic or secondary), and cystoid macular edema. These conditions are directly related to vitreous changes, especially those producing vitreous traction. Macular conditions unrelated to vitreous changes such as senile macular degeneration and hereditary macular degenerations are not discussed here. Macular changes that result from peripheral uveitis are described in Chapter 7.KeywordsMacular HoleCystoid Macular EdemaPosterior Vitreous DetachmentMacular DiseaseIdiopathic Macular HoleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
