Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear is a rare devastating complication of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The believed mechanism lies in an adherence of the neovascularization to the undersurface of the RPE creating a contractile force that increases after VEGF therapy and causes the tear.

Fundus photo of left eye of a 65-year-old AMD patient who presented with sudden drop of vision from 20/30 to CF due to a large submacular hemorrhage, 7 months following her last Eylea injection. She underwent immediate injection of C3F8 in the office, with little effect. 10 days later vitrectomy with subretinal tPA and air-fluid exchange was performed, with successful displacement of the hemorrhage.

An 80-year-old male, with a history of hypertension and high cholesterol, complained of acute and painless vision loss in his left eye (OS) in the previous 5 months. On observation best corrected visual acuity in OS was hand motion. A dense vitreous opacity in OS precluded fundus examination. Ocular ultrasound revealed vitreous hemorrhage and thickening of the macular area. The patient was submitted to pars plana vitrectomy, which disclosed a large submacular hemorrhage with chronical features and disciform scarring in the setting of neovascular AMD.
