    Description
    Right eye pseudocolor fundus photo of a 50 year old patient, known case of bilateral familial dominant drusens with right eye CNVM, having undergone multiple intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Image shows a CDR of 0.3:1, with numerous drusens at macula with residual lipid exudation from CNVM, along the infero-temporal arcade. Temporal to the fovea, we can see a vertical hyperpigmented line corresponding to retracted and redundant torn Retinal pigment epithelium, leaving behind a well circumscribed area of depigmented fundus with bare Bruch's membrane underlying the retina, findings suggestive of an RPE tear post multiple intravitreal injections.
