Degenerative retinoschisis
The terms senile or age-related degenerative retinoschisis are also used, but these names do not correctly describe this condition as it can also occur in the third decade of life (20-30 years).
Degenerative retinoschisis was first reported by M. Bartels in 1933. Two histological forms of the disease have been described by B. R. Straatsma and R.Y. Foos in 1973.
