Methods
A panel of vitreoretinal disease experts, the International Vitreomacular Traction Study (IVTS) Group, was convened to develop a consensus system for the classification of diseases of the VMI. The classification system presented herein is meant to facilitate systematic evidence-based identification, monitoring, and management of VMI diseases. The panel met with the goal of creating a system that is simple, easy to remember, evidence based, clinically applicable, predictive of surgical outcomes,
