Diagnosis:	Peripapillary Two Cavity-Retinoschisis in POAG (ww-Perimetry)
Comment to photo:	We report a case of isolated peripapillary retinoschisis cavities in two different retinal layers. There is evidence of retinoschisis with involvement of several retinal layers without detectable evidence of an optic nerve pit. A 67-year-old woman with a nine-year history of glaucoma presented with IOPs of 21 right eye (OD) and 21 left eye (OS) and open angles. Manifest refraction was +0.75 diopters OD and +0.25 diopters OS. Visual field testing showed a tiny superior scotoma.
