This case report describes a 78-year-old patient who developed a tear of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) during faricimab (Vabysmo®) therapy. After three consecutive intravitreal aflibercept (Eylea®) injections with persistent disease activity, therapy was switched to faricimab. The patient experienced a tear in the RPE 4 weeks postinjection. We report the first published case of RPE tear development after intravitreal faricimab injection in neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Faricimab has a new target structure in the angiopoietin-2 receptor in addition to VEGF. Patients at risk for RPE rupture were excluded from pivotal studies. Further investigation is needed to understand the effect of faricimab not only on visual acuity and intraretinal and subretinal fluid but also on mechanical stress on the RPE monolayer.
