Drusen Disappearance After Retinal Detachment Repair

<b>Purpose:</b> To describe a case of a drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment that resolved after retinal detachment (RD) repair using multimodal imaging. <b>Methods:</b> A single case was evaluated. <b>Results:</b> An 83-year-old woman with intermediate age-related macular degeneration had repair of a rhegmatogenous RD with subsequent resolution of macular drusen and improved visual acuity and metamorphopsia. <b>Conclusions:</b> RD repair may be associated with resolution of drusen, leading to improved functional outcomes.
