Table 1

Definition for VIAs.

ā€‰Signs on OCT ScanRepresentative

ERMWhich is characterized by hyperreflectivity of the membrane with corrugation on the surface of the internal membrane.Figure 2(a)

Vitreomacular tractionWhich was defined by the fact that the posterior hyaloid had detached from the retina but remained adhered to the retina in at least one location. Figure 2(b)

Macular cystsWhich were defined as one or more cavities with well-defined margins within the retina that were often within low reflection. Figure 2(c)

FTMHs Which were considered as having hole in fovea including FTMH (steep, wide, foveal contours) and PTMH (lamellar).Figure 2(d)

PVDWhich was defined by the fact that the posterior vitreous had detached from the retina without any adhesion.Figure 2(e)
