Vitreoretinal traction syndrome

Individualized from the other vitreoretinal interface diseases in the 80’, the vitreoretinal traction syndrome has really been thoroughly described with the advances in OCT imaging.

We'll present the proposed new international classification. By evaluating physiologic and pathological features, it allows to choose between different therapeutic options: watchful waiting, vitreolysis and vitrectomy.

The new treatment using vitreolysis may in some cases avoid surgery in selected cases highlighted by this classification. We'll show some real life cases illustrating what we may really achieve with this non surgical therapy.
