Acquired Retinoschisis

This disease is also called senile retinoschisis, but it also occurs in young people after the age of 20, so the name of senile is not clear. The disease is more common in people over the age of 40. However, it is rarely reported in Chinese and Japanese literature. There may be racial differences. More than 80% of the cases occurred in both eyes, and both eyes were symmetrical with no difference in gender. It is often seized due to symptoms such as flash hallucinations or flying mosquitoes. Otherwise, it is often found by accident when performing fundus examination for some reason.
