ABSTRACT X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) is a vitreoretinal degeneration caused by mutations in the RS1 gene, generally characterized by bilateral maculopathy and peripheral retinoschisis leading to progressive visual loss during the first 2 decades of life and complications like retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage. Herein, we present late ophthalmology findings in a XLRS patient.

Abstract Objective: Poor sleep quality have affect on neuronal structure in central nervous system. We aimed to investigate the effects of sleep quality on the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), macula, and ganglion cell complex (GCC) obtained by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in healthy Caucasian adolescents. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study,100 healthy adolescents were evaluated for determining of sleep quality score by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) and were monitored for detection of sleep efficiency(%) by Sense […]

The diagnosis of macular retinoschisis is often complex and demands complementary exams to be confirmed. This is the report of a case of a 27 years old man diagnosed with macular retinoschisis, in which En face OCT and OCT angiography were used to identify and demonstrate the typical patterns of the disease, as well as distinguish them from the findings of cystoid macular edema.
