  • Age indicates age related change without evidence of vitreoretinal disease.

  • CPVD = complete posterior vitreous detachment; PPVD = partial posterior vitreous detachment; TPVC = thickened posterior vitreous cortex; PDR = proliferative diabetic retinopathy; NPDR = non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy; BRVO = branch retinal vein occlusion; CRVO =  central retinal vein occlusion; RP = retinitis pigmentosa.

  • p<0.0001; CPVD with collapse − CPVD without collapse; CPVD with collapse − PPVD with TPVC; CPVD without collapse − PPVD with TPVC; CPVD without collapse − PPVD without TPVC; PPVD with TPVC − PPVD without TPVC.
