Complete resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome following external globe manipulation

A healthy 63-year-old female presented with a central scintillating scotoma and decreased visual acuity in both eyes. On examination, both eyes revealed blunted foveal reflexes. Corrected visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated vitreomacular traction (VMT) in both eyes (Figures 1A, 1B). Under the guidance of a vitreoretinal specialist, the patient practiced an external, slow eye press-and-release maneuver four times per day in both eyes for 30 days.
