pigment epithelium Explanation: EYE ANATOMY When the retina pulls away from the pigment epithelium at the interphotoreceptor matrix area, a detached retina results. The retina is like the "film of a camera". It is separated from the very vascular choroid by the "retinal pigment epithelium". Sometimes breakdowns in this pigmented layer allow macular degeneration.
