Juvenile Retinoschisis

📋Overview

This condition, also known as X-linked juvenile retinoschisis, involves a structural change in the retina where its layers separate into two. This splitting typically affects the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision, and can impact overall visual acuity.

The disorder is primarily observed in males because of its X-linked inheritance pattern. It is usually identified during childhood or adolescence when vision problems first become apparent to parents or healthcare providers.
