Purpose/methods: We evaluated visual field testing, using indirect ophthalmoscopy, in patients with retinal detachment or retinoschisis. While performing ophthalmoscopy, we projected a shadow onto the schisis or detachment by holding a scleral depressor on the observer's side of the condensing lens. A response was recorded as positive if the patient saw the shadow.
Results/conclusion: In all 20 detachment eyes, compared to zero of 12 schisis eyes, the response was positive. Indirect ophthalmoscope perimetry can help distinguish retinoschisis from retinal detachment.
