Intermitting Photopsia caused by vitreomacular traction Ulla Birk Jérôme Bovet Clinique de l‘Oeil, Onex, Switzerland No financial interest

PURPOSE Methods To combine a patients description of binocular photopsia to the final visualisation of a focal vitreomacular traction by Spectral Domain OCT. Methods Case report of a 53 year old man who presented at our clinic with sudden onset of photopsia in both eyes.

Patients description of the symptoms in a drawing, SD-OCT Left Eye Right Eye

Conclusion Spectral Domain is very precise and helpful in the detection and follow-up of posterior vitreous detachment with vitreomacular traction. Our patients description corresponded very well with the actual findings in the OCT. We recommend to perform an OCT in every case of central photopsia and once a VMT is diagnosed to repeat the examination after one month to exclude the development of a macular hole.
