RPE retinal pigment epithelium

Have wet AMD, injection was working very well. I then had RPE.
Anyone have this experience?
I am told the tear is rare.
Lost vision with RPE.

  1. Hi . My heart goes out to you. Unfortunately, while retinal pigment epithelium, is probably rare among the general population, is not uncommon for people with macular degeneration. Here is an article about it that might interest you: https://maculardegeneration.net/clinical/pigment-epithelial-detachment. I have no experience with it, but I hope you get lots of input from others in the community. How is your vision in your other eye? How are you coping with the vision loss? Do you have much support. Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Thank you for your kind reply and the article. My other eye currently does have good vision but also has dry macular degeneration . Answer to your question on support, yes, I do have Family and they are a wonderful support.
