Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can clearly define the vitreoretinal interface. The preoperative and postoperative features of vitreomacular traction (VMT) have been described in a recent case report.¹ In the present case, serial OCT images documented the natural history of VMT secondary to intermediate uveitis. This is the first report demonstrating spontaneous resolution of VMT with OCT.

Report of a Case

The patient is a 60-year-old white woman with a 1-year history of stable, bilateral intermediate uveitis treated with prednisolone acetate drops twice daily in both eyes. Five months before her initial visit to us, her visual acuity dropped to 20/60 OS from 20/25 OS. Six weeks before referral to us, visual acuity dropped further to 20/80 OS and a sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide injection was administered in the left eye. The patient was referred to our retina service for evaluation of continuing decreased vision in her left eye.
