treatment for retinal pigment epithelial detachment
I would like to know is retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) a serious disease and is there any cure for it. What are the treatment plans?
Probably the most serious complication is an RPE tear, which can lead to dramatic vision loss. Most PEDs are vascular in nature and so I would consider an anti-VEGF injection ASAP.

RPED can be extremely serious if it is near or under the macula or is associated with choroidal neovascularization.
You should be under the care of a retina Eye MD. Treatment varies from doing nothing to using VEGF injections into the eye.
