Retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) is a common manifestation in both dry and wet types of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

PEDs often result in loss of vision by either atrophy or choroidal neovascularization.

Multimodal imaging is essential for the correct recognition of their various types and appropriate patient counselling and management.

Intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy is an effective treatment in the majority of eyes with fibrovascular PEDs and similar visual outcomes have been reported with different treatment regimens.
