RETINOSCHISIS

Look closely and you will see a retinoschisis in the right eye near the very bottom and the left eye around two o'clock (the right eye is the image on the left).  A retinoschisis is a detachment of the retina from itself.  A retinal detachment is when all of the nine layers of the retina detach from the underlying choroid.  Retinoschisis does not normally need to be treated and rarely involves the posterior pole.  Close monitoring is warranted.
