SD - from my bro the doctor - FWIW
"There are two forms of retinoschisis - adult and juvenile. I presume this guy has the adult form. It is generally an incidental finding and usually doesn't cause any problems. In a normal patient - ie two healthy eyes - it might checked every 6 months for a year or two but then simply every year. I have never seen adult retinoschisis progress to the point where it needed to be treated. "

Yeah, that's where we're at. Extra tests to monitor it, but no intervention.
