Abstract
Purpose: To describe a case of a drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment that resolved after retinal detachment (RD) repair using multimodal imaging. Methods: A single case was evaluated. Results: An 83-year-old woman with intermediate age-related macular degeneration had repair of a rhegmatogenous RD with subsequent resolution of macular drusen and improved visual acuity and metamorphopsia. Conclusions: RD repair may be associated with resolution of drusen, leading to improved functional outcomes.
