- Description
- This is the same lesion as seen in the previous photograph but with the scleral indentation placed more anterior. In this view, one can look through both the inner and outer layer holes at the same time directly into the subretinal space. This is only a subclinical detachment which did not progress. True clinical progressive retinal detachments as a complication of retinoschisis probably do not occur in more than 1 of every 1,000 cases of senile retinoschisis.
