Case report reveals resolution of peripheral retinal detachment in a 75-year-old male after laser treatment, suggesting possible outcomes in similar cases.
Peripheral hemorrhagic detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium after choroidal neovascularization in age‐related macular degeneration in the fellow eye have been reported only rarely. We report a case of a 75‐year‐old male with such involvement who presented with the acute onset of a shower of floaters in the right eye 9 months after argon laser photocoagulation of juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization in his left eye. The peripheral hemorrhagic detachment resolved within one month.
