Prevalence of Vitreomacular Adhesions in Patients Without Maculopathy Older Than 40 Years: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Background: Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a condition characterized by anomalous 
posterior vitreous detachment resulting in persistent adherence of the vitreous cortex to the 
macula. Although often asymptomatic, it may predispose to macular pathologies such as 
macular holes or epiretinal membranes. Limited data exist on the prevalence of VMA in 
individuals without clinical maculopathy.
