AB  - PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of vitreomacular interface (VMI) pathology, 
      using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: VMI status 
      was classified into macular posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), focal 
      vitreomacular adhesion (VMA; </=1,500 mum), broad VMA (>1,500 mum), focal 
      vitreomacular traction (VMT; </=1,500 mum), broad VMT (>1,500 mum), full-thickness 
      macular hole (FTMH) with the presence of VMT, and FTMH without the presence of 
      VMT. RESULTS: A total of 1,976 eyes were included. A nonpathologic VMI was 
      observed in 1,875 eyes (94.8%), including 1,050 (53.1%) with PVD, 120 (6.1%) with 
      focal VMA and 705 (35.6%) with broad VMA. A pathologic state of the VMI was 
      diagnosed in 101 eyes (5.1%). Thirty-three eyes (1.7%) were classified as focal 
      VMT, 29 (1.4%) as broad VMT, 39 (1.9%) as FTMH, resulting in 6 small, 12 medium 
      and 21 large FTMHs, six eyes had VMT associated to FTMH. CONCLUSIONS: Even in a 
      tertiary care, retinal referral practice, VMI pathology is a relatively rare 
      condition. There was a higher prevalence in a tertiary hospital study compared to 
      population-based studies.
