A series of 106 consecutive symptomatic eyes considered to be at high risk for idiopathic macular holes developing underwent pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling. One of three types of vitreomacular traction was noted intraoperatively in all the eyes. The elimination of the vitreomacular traction resulted in improved vision in 89% of the eyes, no change in 7%, and decreased vision in 4%. A total of 62% of the patients were women (median age, 67 years). Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 118 months (average, 35 months). Complications included accelerated nuclear sclerosis in 16% and a 2% incidence of retinal detachment, macular pucker, and macular holes.
