Abstract

Tears of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are a known and potentially catastrophic complication of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Eyes with vascularized retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PED) are especially at risk for the development of RPE tears. This long-recognized complication faces increased scrutiny in an era of improved anti-angiogenic treatments for AMD, particularly given that these newly developed therapeutics have been implicated as a potential factor in the formation of some RPE tears.
