Vitreomacular adhesion is defined as perifoveal vitreous separation with remaining vitreomacular attachment and unperturbed foveal morphologic features. Optical coherence tomography-based anatomic definitions and classification of vitreomacular adhesion, vitreomacular traction (VMT), and macular hole. Responses to questionnaires and the group's opinions on definitions specified in the literature were used to guide the discussion. The articles were preselected based on searches for comprehensive reviews covering diseases of the VMI. The IVTS applied their clinical experience, after reviewing the relevant literature, to support the development of a strictly anatomic OCT-based classification system.ДЄ panel of vitreoretinal disease experts was the foundation of the International Classification System.Д«efore the meeting, panel participants were asked to review 11 articles and to complete 3 questionnaires. The International Vitreomacular Traction Study (IVTS) Group was convened to develop an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based anatomic classification system for diseases of the vitreomacular interface (VMI). 10 Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.9 Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York, New York, New York.8 Doheny Eye Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California VMR Institute, Huntington Beach, California.7 Doheny Eye Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.6 New England Eye Center, Tufts Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.5 Department of Ophthalmology, HГґpital LariboisiГЁre, Paris, France.4 Retina and Inflammation Unit, Specialized Eye Center, MIOS, Lausanne, Switzerland.3 The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Retinology and Biomicroscopic Laser Surgery, Vienna, Austria Department of Ophthalmology, Rudolph Foundation Clinic, Vienna, Austria.Electronic address: 2 Cole Eye Institute, The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio. 1 New England Eye Center, Tufts Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.
