Affected men should have periodic eye examinations for this. If retinal detachment is detected early, it may be repaired surgically. However, the schisis or splitting of the retina cannot be corrected by either medicine or surgery. Retinoschisis can be confused with other eye diseases. If retinoschisis is in your family and you are diagnosed with a lazy eye you should have a specialty diagnosis.
Lazy eye can occur independently of retinoschisis.
