Posterior vitreous detachment and paravascular retinoschisis in highly myopic young patients detected by ultra-widefield OCT

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and retinoschisis (RS) in 73 highly myopic (HM) young patients age 16.4 ± 6.9 years and 24 non-HM children age 8.4 ± 1.5 years. The presence of the paravascular retinal abnormalities wa...
