Introduction: To evaluate cases of retinal pigment epithelium tear due to anti VEGF with or without subsequent anti VEGF treatment.
Materials and Methods: 4 cases of retinal pigment epithelium tear were evaluated in ETDRS and on OCT at 1 month distance after subsequent anti VEGF treatment and confronted to untreated retinal pigment epithelium tears. All retinal pigment epithelium tears initially occurred due to anti VEGF treatment for wet ARMD.
Results: No amelioration at ETDRS was detectable either after or without subsequent treatment. No significant amelioration was detected on OCT in the group with treatment comparing to the group without treatment. No subjective amelioration of the image was detected on the subjective evaluation scale between 0 and 4.
Discussion: Retinal pigment epithelium tears after Anti VEGF injections are not rare and their taking care is problematic. There is no available treatment of this complication, but we analyse the effect of anti VEGF in the clinical course of these tears.
Conclusion: No objective, nor subjective amelioration was detectable in this group of patients with pigment epithelium tear due to anti VEGF treatment.
