RPE elevations and detachments are part of the morphologic spectrum of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
2

RPE elevations can be classified as flat RPE elevations or extensive serous/bullous detachments.
3

Longitudinal studies indicate that shallow and bullous RPE elevations are linked to a higher risk of AMD progression.

The Beijing Eye Study included 3468 participants, focusing on those with early-stage or intermediate-stage AMD.
