Purpose: To report the association of rubeosis iridis with chronic bullous degenerative peripheral retinoschisis.
Observations: A 63-year-old female presented with acute hyphema and neovascularization of the iris in association with elevated intraocular pressure. Posterior segment examination including imaging revealed no vascular occlusion as a potential cause. However, large, peripheral bullous retinoschisis was noted in the right eye. No nonperfusion aside from that seen within the schism detachment, or neovascularization of the retina on wide-field fundus photography or fluorescein angiography was noted. Bullous retinoschisis was also found in the left eye. The patient was treated conservatively with prednisolone acetate and timolol eye drops.
Conclusions And Importance: Chronic bullous retinoschisis can be associated with anterior segment neovascularization such as rubeosis iridis, presumably due to non-perfusion within the retinoschisis cavity.

Aims: Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) has been poorly documented. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of CNV in patients with XLRS, as well as analyse the preliminary genotype-phenotype correlation.
Methods: A retrospective case series of patients with genetically confirmed XLRS was included.

Introduction: Congenital X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) presents as macular retinoschisis/degeneration in almost all patients and as peripheral retinoschisis in half the patients. Although the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of macular retinoschisis have been well investigated, those of peripheral retinoschisis have rarely been reported. This study aimed to report the ultra-widefield OCT findings of the peripheral retina in patients with XLRS.

Purpose: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) reduce macular schisis in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). The purpose of this study was to determine if CAIs reduce the incidence of complications from XLRS, including macular atrophy, retinal tears, and retinal detachment (RD), the most common causes of vision loss in patients with XLRS.
Methods: For this retrospective interventional case series, a chart review of patients examined at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center [CCHMC] and Cincinnati Eye Institute [CEI] between 1/1/2015 and 1/16/2023 was performed.
