| Abstract;Purpose: It has been reported that the visual outcome of retinal pigment epithelial tear(RPE tear) in the fovea is worse than that of RPE tear sparing the fovea. We report optical coherence tomography(OCT) findings of 3 cases with RPE tear in the fovea who preserved good visual acuity. Patients: All patients had serous retinal pigment epithelial detachment involving the macula. The RPE was torn and rolled RPE was observed in the fovea. In OCT findings, a fovea was observed on the RPE flap, and visual acuity was preserved after RPE tear repair. Conclusion: We considered that preservation of good visual acuity was due to the presence of a fovea on the RPE flap. We could precisely analyze the location of the fovea and RPE tear using OCT.
