78 year old male with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with peripapillary retinoschisis.

<p>(1A) Optic nerve photograph shows glaucomatous optic neuropathy (1B) There is mild visual field damage with a mean deviation of -2.19 dB. (1C, 1D and 1E) Three horizontal OCT raster scans through three different sections of the optic nerve demonstrating peripapillary retinal splitting (retinoschisis) with adherent vitreous in the region of retinoschisis (yellow arrow), splitting in the nerve fiber layer (yellow star), and inner plexiform layer (white star) and outer plexiform layer with a likely outer nuclear layer component as well (white arrows). (1F) Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness map shows retinoschisis nasally within the RNFL segmentation (yellow star), causing a small area of artifactual thickening on the RNFL thickness profile.</p

67 year old male with advanced POAG, with peripapillary retinochisis.

<p>(2A) Optic nerve photograph shows glaucomatous optic neuropathy. (2B) There is advanced visual field damage, with a mean deviation of -19.65 dB. (2C) OCT demonstrates peripapillary retinoschisis in the outer nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer (C; white arrows) on two horizontal raster scans through the optic nerve. (2D) Circumpapillary RNFL thickness map shows retinoschisis nasally.</p
