The main vitreomacular interface disorders include epiretinal membranes, macular holes, vitreomacular traction syndrome, and less commonly myopic foveoschisis. They are characterized by abnormal mechanical and biochemical interactions between the posterior hyaloid and retinal surface. Based on patient visual impairment and on OCT findings, surgical approach may be considered. Depending on pathophyisiological process, ILM peeling may be discussed. Latest developments of surgical technology for the management of vitreomacular interface disorders will be detailled based on most recent data.
