Abstract
We evaluated visual field testing, using indirect ophthalmoscopy, in patients with retinal detachment or retinoschisis. While performing ophthalmoscopy, we projected a shadow onto the schisis or detachment by holding a scleral depressor on the observer's side of the condensing lens. A response was recorded as positive if the patient saw the shadow. In all 20 detachment eyes, compared to zero of 12 schisis eyes, the response was positive. Indirect ophthalmoscope perimetry can help distinguish retinoschisis from retinal detachment.
