Abstract
PURPOSE: To describe the disappearance of drusen after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS: Descriptive case report. RESULTS: A 72-year-old man with confluent subfoveal drusen developed a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and subsequently improved in vision with disappearance of the subfoveal drusen less than 1 month after repair. CONCLUSION: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment can result in the disappearance of drusen.
