| vitreoretinopathy, proliferative | Vitreoretinal membrane shrinkage or contraction secondary to the proliferation of primarily retinal pigment epithelial cells and glial cells, particularly fibrous astrocytes, followed by membrane formation. The formation of fibrillar collagen and cellular proliferation appear to be the basis for the contractile properties of the epiretinal and vitreous membranes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| exudative vitreoretinopathy | <ophthalmology> A familial, slowly progressive ocular disease; characterised by posterior vitreous detachment, vitreous membranes, heterotopia of macula, retinal detachment, neovascularization, and recurrent haemorrhage. (06 Mar 2000) |
