Rips in the Pigment Epithelium

Effect of photodynamic therapy on the function of the outer blood-retinal barrier in an in vitro model

“…Such tears may be a spontaneous complication of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) [4] or result from CNV contraction subsequent to the thermal energy exerted by conventional thermal laser treatment [7,23]. RPE tears following PDT are a potential complication, causing severe decrease of visual acuity [2,8,26,36].…”

Retinal Pigment Epithelial Tear in Reactive Lymphoid Hyperplasia of Uvea (With 1 color plate)

“…Les auteurs sont invités à illustrer leurs rapports à l'aide de photo graphies de leurs observations macroscopiques et micro scopiques. Les A retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear is one of the well-known complications of agerelated macular degeneration [2,4,[9][10][11]. It develops usually at the edges of RPE detach ment in the posterior pole or after application of laser photocoagulation to the RPE detach ment, but there has been no report concerning RPE tears developing in the midperiphery or associated with other intraocular diseases.…”

Spontaneous Reattachment of the Margins of a Macular Retinal Pigment Epithelium Tear: Optical Coherence Tomography Documentation of a Case

“…The pattern and course of RPE tears have been studied in the past by fluorescein fundus angiography, autofluorescence (AF), fundus ophthalmoscopy, stereo colour photography and more recently by optical coherence tomography (OCT) [8,9,10,11,12,13]. Hoskin et al [1 ]described the fluorescein findings of reattachment of the free margin to Bruch’s membrane, a few days or weeks after the tear.…”
