Vitreous attachment sites possess an irregular non-circular shape in a significant number of eyes with VMT. Consequently, the area of traction appears inaccurately described by its horizontal VMT diameter alone. As the area of traction is important for therapeutic recommendation, our results emphasize the need for a more precise description of the area of traction in eyes with VMT.
