Minocycline-induced retinal pigment epithelium hyperpigmentation masquerading as age-related macular degeneration: Case presentation and proposed mechanism
Purpose: We describe the case of an 80-year-old man with bilateral minocycline-induced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) hyperpigmentation, which initially masqueraded as AMD. Secondarily, using multimodal imaging features, we propose a mechanism for the development of minocycline-induced RPE hyperpi...
