Macular retinoschisis is an uncommon complication of high myopia. Limited data are available on surgical management of macular retinoschisis in high myopia, and these reports involve patients with concurrent localized retinal detachment.^1-2 We describe visual acuity and optical coherence tomography (OCT) outcomes following surgical management of macular retinoschisis (without retinal detachment) associated with high myopia.

Report of Cases

Case 1

A 53-year-old man with 14 diopters (D) of myopia experienced progressive visual loss over 2 years in the left eye, from best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/30 to BCVA of 20/200, due to progressive macular retinoschisis. Fluorescein angiography showed no retinal vascular leakage or cystoid macular edema. Optical coherence tomography showed macular retinoschisis with outer retinal cystic spaces and a macular pseudohole. The central foveal thickness measured 519 µm (Figure 1A); there was no retinal detachment. Eight months after . . . [Full Text of this Article]
