Retinal pigment epithelium tear is a potentially vision threatening complication of retinal pigment epithelial detachment associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Retinal pigment epithelium tear has been reported to occur spontaneously and after treatment with anti-vascular growth endothelial factor agents. The current study summarizes the presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of retinal pigment epithelium tears.
