Three-dimensional spectral domain optical coherence tomography in vitreomacular traction.

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-invasive tool providing unprecedented imaging and analysis of vitreomacular interface. Two cases of vitreomacular traction were analysed by advanced three-dimensional (3D) SD-OCT imaging. En-face OCT permitted localisation of the exact point of attachment of vitreous to retina. A comprehensive view of the surface topography and anatomical configuration of vitreomacular affection was revealed by 3D imaging with segmentation technique. Macular change analysis programme revealed progression to full-thickness macular hole in the second case. Non-invasive high-resolution SD-OCT imaging has transformed the understanding and management of vitreomacular traction. Its role is further reinforced by the introduction of ocriplasmin for management of vitreomacular adhesions. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
