Summary and Conclusions In at least some highly myopic eyes (see example 2), vitreal retinal traction and retinoschisis can be documented with SD OCT. Removal of the traction via vitrectomy and membrane peel as well as intra-vitreal gas injection without vitrectomy may be viable options. In some reported cases, fluid emanating from an optic disc

All 128 scans through and around the optic nerve head in the right eye demonstrate a peripapillary retinoschisis (PPRS). Several of these sections demonstrate vitreal-retinal traction which is the probable explanation for the PPRS. A similar RS is present in the left eye which is visualized nasally but not temporally. Similar vitreal-retinal traction is documented
