PROGNOSIS • Vision is typically unaffected or only minimally affected if the area of retinoschisis remains peripheral. • The prognosis is significantly worse should a retinal detachment develop. [entokey.com]

In a long-term follow-up study (n=946), the age-standardized prevalence of retinoschisis was 3.9% (95% confidence interval, 2.6-5.2) in persons aged 60-80 years. [1] Prognosis In a large study conducted by Byer, no change in visual acuity occurred over [emedicine.medscape.com]
