Macular folds associated with or without peripheral retinoschisis are major clinical signs, which are responsible for decreased visual acuity. A 17 year old male boy who came in OPD for a consultation for progressive diminution in visual acuity since 5 years. Visual acuity was 3/60 without correction; and the left eye at 3/60, After the myopic correction both eye achieved a 5/60 best corrected visual acuity.
