Abstract
A 55-year-old man was admitted with a 2-year history of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The best-corrected visual acuities were 10/10 in both eyes. Pseudoexfoliation material was noted on the iris and the lens capsule. Fundus examination evidenced cup-to-disc ratio of 0.7 OD and 0.9 OS with peripapillary atrophy. Gonioscopy revealed open angles. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated peripapillary retinoschisis extending to the nasal macula in the left eye and optic nerve head was almost fully excavated. Coexisting retinoschisis in a patient with glaucoma may interfere with the reliability of retinal nerve fibre layer and ganglion cell complex analysis and may change the treatment plan and follow-up intervals.Keywords
