A 34-year-old Japanese woman suspected of having glaucoma by a local physician visited us for a consultation. The patient had not previously undergone intraocular surgery. Her corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OD with –9.5 diopter sphere (DS) and 20/20 OS with –9.0 DS. Her intraocular pressures were 11 mm Hg OD and 8 mm Hg OS. Color and red-free fundus photographs showed multiple, spindle-shaped retinal cleavages around blood vessels in both eyes. Small bundles of nerve fiber were seen passing across the cleavages, and the optic discs appeared normal (Figure 1). Optical coherence tomography showed a clear profile of the inner retinal cleavages (Figure 2). The mean ± SD thickness of the retina at the site of the cleavages was 106.4 ± 17.7 m and that of the adjacent unaffected retina was 254.2 ± 25.8 m. The mean thickness of the retina at the site of the cleavages was significantly thinner than . . . [Full Text of this Article]
