The observation that a more formed vitreous is present in eyes affected by VMT or MH as observed during pars plana vitrectomy repair by the senior author and the OCT correlation presented in this study support the notion that vitreous degeneration or [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Asymptomatic

  The condition is usually bilateral and is often asymptomatic although affected persons may complain of seeing sudden flashes of light. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Inflammation

  […] finding in the brain cells of some patients with Alzheimer's dementia in which the neuronal cytoplasm is partly replaced by cavities that contain particles resembling grit or sand. gray degeneration Degeneration in myelinated nerve tissue due to chronic inflammation [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Retinal Pigmentation

  In dry MD, the more common and more benign form, hard and soft drusen accumulate beneath the retinal pigment epithelium. They may cause slowly progressive blurring of central vision or may occasionally and gradually lead to wet MD. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Macula

  In wet MD, neovascularization intrudes under the retinal pigment epithelium from the choroid, where the new blood vessels may suddenly bleed or leak fluid, distort the normal architecture of the macula, and degrade central visual acuity. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  For each eye, all B-scans through the central macula from both the VMT/MH and control groups were exported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neglect

  However, our understanding of the role of the vitreous body itself in this spectrum of disease has been neglected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Schedule Eye Exam VISION THERAPY Vision Therapy treatment addresses developmental or acquired visual deficits that impact patients’ daily lives in their academic, sports, and workplace performance. [eyecarespecialties.com]

However, this form of treatment is complicated by a high rate of recurrence and some immediate visual loss in a scotoma. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

In these cases, additional imaging such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) or ocular ultrasound are used. [6] Treatment [ edit ] Therapy is not required or indicated in posterior vitreous detachment, unless there are associated retinal tears, which [en.wikipedia.org]

The implications of this theory may alter the way we think about not only the pathogenesis but also future treatment paradigms of VMT-MH spectrum disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, this study suggests that progression of vitreous degeneration is not a causative factor in vitreoretinal interface disease but may in fact be preventative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
