AMPEE
Can AMPEE occur after a blow to the eye like an air bag deploying?
Hi doc! I have been suffering from this disease since February 2013, 3 doctors said that it is ampee and 1 said that the retina is completely fine, a fibre has been broken which is causing these spots. The spots are increading and I have pain in my and above my eyes. I am 19 years old. Can you plz tell me if there is a proper treatment for this.
Dr. Santos,
Thank you for your response. My 20 yr. old daughter was a passenger in a car accident in September 2009 in which the air bag deployed in her face. She was seeing spots and saw an eye specialist who said in her opinion it looked like AMPEE. The spots cleared up but are now getting worse 16 months later. Does this eye disease always reoccur or can it go away entirely?
Thank you,
Arlene

Hi,
How are you? acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is an acquired inflammatory disorder affecting the retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid of otherwise young healthy adults.1 The disease is self-limited and is characterized by multiple yellow-white placoid subretinal lesions of the posterior pole, as shown below. The lesions are frequently bilateral and in various stages of evolution, typically resolving in weeks to months and leaving circumscribed areas of retinal pigment epithelial disturbance.
