The introduction of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) has enhanced Vitreoretinal Interface (VRI) imaging considerably and facilitated the diagnosis, followup, prognosis determination, and management of VRI-associated pathologies. HR-OCT became a common practical tool seen in almost every ophthalmology practice. Knowledge of SD-OCT image interpretation and recognition of pathologies are required for all ophthalmologists. This paper methodically reviews the normal aging process of the VRI and discusses several commonly encountered VRI pathologies. The role of SD-OCT imaging in VRI-associated disorders such as posterior vitreous detachment, vitreomacular traction syndrome, idiopathic epiretinal membranes, lamellar holes, pseudoholes, and full thickness macular holes is portrayed. Future perspectives of new OCT technologies based on SD-OCT are discussed.

Purpose. To describe the characteristics of idiopathic macular holes (MH) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and correlate OCT with clinical assessment.Design. Cross-sectional chart review and OCT assessment.Participants. Sixty-seven eyes with a clinically diagnosed idiopathic MH with available OCT data.Methods. A retrospective chart review and OCT assessment.Results. Based on OCT grading, 40 eyes had a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and 21 eyes had a lamellar macular hole (LMH). Clinical exam and OCT assessment agreed in 53 (87%) eyes when assessing the extent of MH. Six eyes (14.6%) in the FTMH group, and 3 eyes in the LMH group (14.3%) had persistent vitreomacular traction. Thirty-seven eyes (92.5%) in the FTMH group and 11 eyes (52.4%) in the LMH group had associated intraretinal cysts. Two eyes (5.0%) in the FTMH group and zero eyes in the LMH group had subretinal fluid. Intraretinal cysts were found to be more frequently associated with FTMH than with LMH (P<0.001).Conclusion. This paper described OCT findings in a group of patients with clinically diagnosed MH. A high level of correlation between clinical assessment and OCT findings of LMH and FTMH was observed, and intraretinal cysts were often present in FTMH.

Purpose. To evaluate the role of microperimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the morphofunctional analysis of the retina after surgical treatment of idiopathic macular holes (IMH). Materials and methods. A retrospective study of 33 patient's treatment results (33 eyes) with IMH was carried out. All patients underwent minimally invasive with 25G or 27G vitrectomy. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular photosensitivity, fixation stability, macular neuroepithelial (NE) volume and minimal macular hole diameter were analyzed. Follow-up period: 6 months. Results. A complete closure of the macular hole was achieved in all cases post-op. The patients had reliable improvement of BCVA, retinal photosensitivity and decrease of macular NE volume. Based on a multifactor correlation analysis with the purpose to predict the results of surgical treatment, the dependence of post-op BCVA on the pre-op photosensitivity of the retina and the minimal diameter of the macular hole was revealed. Conclusions. Microperimetry and OCT are modern non-invasive research methods allowing to estimate anatomical and functional results of surgical IMH treatment. The study of retinal photosensitivity in the macula and minimal macular hole diameter pre-op allows to predict post-op BCVA, which has a practical importance. Keywords: idiopathic macular hole, vitrectomy, microperimetry, optical coherence tomography.
