Vitreomacular Adhesion
Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a condition in which the vitreous gel in the eye sticks to the retina with abnormal strength, often causing vision problems. It is normal for the vitreous to separate from the macula (part of the retina), but in cases of VMA, it sticks and pulls on the macula, an effect called “traction”.
Symptoms of VMA include loss of vision, distortion of vision, micropsia (things appearing smaller than they are), and blindness. Traction from VMA may lead to symptomatic VMA, which is associated with several eye conditions, such as macular hole, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and diabetic retinopathy.
Treatment of vitreomacular adhesion may involve surgery to remove the vitreous in the eye, and medication, often in the form of injections such as ocriplasmin.
