- Retinal Detachment can look exactly like Degenerative Retinoschisis
- Degenerative Retinoschisis is confused as Retinal Detachment even by experts.
- Retinal Detachment needs urgent risky surgery in the next 24 hours
- Degenerative Retinoschisis does not require treatment of any kind
We will show you an example where up to 3 experts misdiagnosed Degenerative Retinoschisis as Retinal detachment and recommended urgent surgery for both eyes of a young man that could have been made blind for no reason.
The young man vision was 20-20 and presenting zero symptoms of any kind.
The goals of this foundation are:
Raise awareness of Degenerative Retinoschisis
Create a law that would require patients scheduled for retinal detachment surgery but that are not presenting any symptoms to be provided a signed reassurance that the doctor is not misdiagnosing a Degenerative Retinoschisis with a Retinal Detachment
