Abstract
- Purpose: To describe clinical findings in patient with dynamic changes of vitreomacular interface and retina. To provide summary of findings about mechanism of accommodation and its potential impact on vitreous and retina.<br />Methods: In 57 year old patient we performed comprehensive ophtalmological examination including spectral domain optical coherent tomography (SD-OCT). We observed the impact of accommodative effort, head-downward position, combination of accommodative effort and head-downward position and influence of light reflex on vitreomacular interface and retina and change of minimal foveal thickness.<br />Results: On SD-OCT we could observe vitreofoveal adhesion on both eyes. During accommodative effort in combination with head-downward position we could observe symptomatic dynamic vitreomacular traction with temporary elevation of minimal foveal thickness. We could not observe impact of only head-downward posture, reading with spectacle correction of presbyopia or light reflex on change of vitreomacular interface or retina.<br />Conclusion: We should suspect dynamic changes of vitreomacular interface and retina when we see fluctuating impairment of central visual acuity particularly when it is in connection with accommodation and head-downward posture.Key words: accommodation, head-downward position, vitreomacular interface, SD-OCT.
