The effect of elective cataract extraction by phacoemulsification in eyes with vitreomacular traction syndrome

Conclusion: The effect of CE in phakic eyes with known VMT varies significantly. In the current case series, every eye with VMT and Stage 2 or 3 macular hole ended up with Stage 4 macular hole, although the VMT did not change significantly in the eyes of diabetic patients. Studies with larger sample size are needed to further elucidate the impact of elective CE on VMT.
