INTRAVITREAL SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE INJECTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF VITREOMACULAR TRACTION SYNDROME.

Purpose: Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome can cause symptomatic metamorphopsia and decreased visual acuity. Although it is typically treated with vitrectomy or intravitreal ocriplasmin injection, these procedures can be invasive and costly. The purpose of this retrospective, consecutive case series was to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal expansile sulfur hexafluoride gas injection for the treatment of symptomatic VMT syndrome.
