What is another word for vitreomacular adhesion?
Pronunciation: [vˌɪtɹɪəmˈakjʊləɹ ɐdhˈiːʒən] (IPA) 
Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a medical condition where the vitreous body, a gel-like substance in the eye, adheres to the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. VMA can cause vision distortions, blurriness, and even vision loss if left untreated. Synonyms for VMA include vitreoretinal adhesion, macular pucker, epimacular membrane, and macular hole. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same condition. Surgical interventions, such as vitrectomy or pharmacological vitreolysis, are often required to treat VMA and restore normal vision. Regular eye exams can help detect VMA early and prevent any permanent damage to the macula.
