Retinal Pigment Epithelial Tears after Ex-PRESS Filtration Surgery in a Glaucoma Patient with a History of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

Figure 3

Wide-field fundus photograph and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging 12 months after Ex-PRESS filtration surgery. Fundus photograph showed that although retinal detachment almost recovered, widened RPE tears and subretinal proliferative tissue remained superior to the posterior pole (arrowhead) (a). OCT imaging corresponding to the line in the fundus photograph revealed an RPE defect (arrow) and partial traction of the retina due to subretinal proliferative tissue (asterisk) (b). Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) showed hypofluorescence corresponding to the area of RPE tears (c).
