Role of Traction in Eyes with Vitreomacular Adhesion. SubAnalysis of Eyes with Vitreomacular Adhesion (n = 40); Spectral Optical Coherence Tomography Proportion of Vitreomacular Traction vs Absence of Traction in Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration, and Control Eyes

	Hyaloid Adhesion to Macula without VMT	Hyaloid Adhesion to Macula with VMT
Exudative AMD (%)	7 (41)	10 (59)
Nonexudative AMD (%)	13 (87)	2 (13)
Control (%)	7 (88)	1 (12)
Total (%)	27 (68)	13 (32)
P = .0082 (likelihood ratio, Chi-square)
P = .007 (Cochran-Armitage trend test)

AMD = age-related macular degeneration; OCT = optical coherence tomography; VMT = vitreomacular traction.

In parenthesis are reported the percent of eyes.
