Pt agrees with plan VMT: when to refer Natural progression of disease is rather variable Slow progression possible with near normal acuity Approx 10% will have spontaneous PVD and resolution within 30 days Therefore, close monitoring my be advised for some patients 8
VMT: when to refer In patients with poor vision, or symptomatic, a pars planar vitrectomy (PPV) may be considered Duration, severity should also be considered Jetrea (ocriplasmin) as option?
