  1. CFT central foveal thickness, ERM epiretinal membrane, FD the height of foveal detachment, ILM internal limiting membrane, IS/OS inner segment/outer segment, LH lamellar hole, VMT vitreomacular traction
  2. + = present; − = absent
  3. aThe classification of retinoschisis was based on the extent of outer retinoschisis described by Shimada [4], where schisis involving the fovea and partial macula was classified as S3, and schisis involving the entire macula area was classified as S4
  4. bIn patient No. 1, the ERM was removed via vitrectomy without ILM peeling one month before the development of foveal detachment
  5. cIn patient Nos. 2 and 6, the retinoschisis involved both the inner (inner plexiform layer) and outer retina
  6. dIn patient Nos. 3, 7, and 8, the retinoschisis had decreased, with some residual schisis in the outer retina
  7. eIn patient No. 6, an inner lamellar hole was noted at initial presentation, with enlargement during follow-up
  8. fIn patient No. 8, an outer lamellar hole was noted at initial presentation
