[Vitreomacular Traction Following Anti-VEGF Therapy - Two Cases].

In this report, we present two patients who developed VMTS during anti-VEGF therapy for exudative age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. VMTS following anti-VEGF therapy of exudative macular diseases is rare. The exact pathomechanism remains unclear. However, there is a hypothesis that in eyes with adherent vitreous cortex, the induction of fibrosis as a result of the VEGF inhibition may lead to vitreomacular traction.
