PURPOSE: To report the acute onset of macular atrophy soon after photobiomodulation (PBM) administration in a patient with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed in the study eye before and after PBM. RESULTS: A patient with drusenoid pigment epithelium detachment (D-PED) underwent PBM. A few weeks after PBM the D-PED collapsed, resulting in incomplete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy with visual acuity worsening. CONCLUSION: Thinning of the outer retinal layers over a D-PED and posterior hypertrasmission may represent bad prognostic factors for PBM, accelerating the lesion's natural history towards atrophic evolution.
