They are most often discussed in vitreoretinal disease, where \u201ctraction\u201d means mechanical pulling that can distort retinal shape. Clinicians commonly identify tractional membranes during a dilated eye exam and retinal imaging such as OCT. They matter because traction can affect vision, retinal health, and surgical planning."}
