Clinical and surgical approach to retinoschisis

Degenerative retinoschisis can be challenging to differentiate from a RRD through clinical examination. Although ocular coherence tomography (OCT) is the typical approach to diagnosing retinoschisis, there have been many promising diagnostic developments to better prognosticate and differentiate between similar entities. Given the difficulty in managing these cases, medical and surgical management are typically at the discretion of the treating physician.
