Detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a manifestation of a number of degenerative, vascular, inflammatory processes in the eye. The most common cause of RPE detachment in older individuals is the neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Only in 10% of cases the detachment is transudative (avascular), characterized by high domed serous RPE detachment. The article presents an analysis of a case of idiopathic bilateral avascular pigment epithelium detachment - clinical, morphological and functional features of the disease, its impact on the visual functions and the quality of life.
