PY - 2011 T2 - Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology, 18e AB - The last three decades of the twentieth century saw an explosion of interest in the vitreous because of the development of vitreoretinal surgery. Prior to this period, large numbers of patients were blinded by inoperable vitreoretinal diseases. One goal of this chapter is to help the medical student, intern, resident, general ophthalmologist and optometrist become aware of the indications for vitreoretinal surgery, many of which are time sensitive. Many vitreoretinal conditions have implications for the family medical practitioner, internist, and emergency physician.
