The American Academy of Ophthalmology notes though retinal detachment is associated with lattice degeneration, lattice degeneration is not as strongly associated with or predictive of retinal detachment, with one study finding a low overall risk of developing retinal detachment at around 0.3–0.5%. [2]
Retinoschisis is an eye disease characterized by the abnormal splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers, usually in the outer plexiform layer.Retinoschisis can be divided into degenerative forms which are very common and almost exclusively involve the peripheral retina and hereditary forms which are rare and involve the central retina and sometimes the peripheral retina.
Round hole of retina, without detachment; Operculum; Retinal break NOS Excludes: chorioretinal scars after surgery for detachment (H59.8) peripheral retinal degeneration without break (H35.4) (H33.4) Traction detachment of retina Proliferative vitreo-retinopathy with retinal detachment (H33.5) Other retinal detachments [2]
Retinal tufts can be visualized or diagnosed using a dilated eye examination and indirect ophthalmoscope or a widefield retinal scan. [3] A retinal tuft is a gliotic degeneration of the retina composed of focal adhesions in the extracellular matrix joining the retina and the posterior hyaloid of the eye. [4] [5]

Family history of retinal detachment [10] Previous retinal detachment in the other eye [8] [9] [10] Lattice degeneration: Thinning of the retina, which increases its susceptibility to breaks or tears. [9] [10] [18] Cystic retinal tuft: A small, raised spot present on the retina from birth that increases the risk for tears and detachment. [9] [10]
The risk of retinal detachment is the greatest in the first 6 weeks following a vitreous detachment, but can occur over 3 months after the event.. The risk of retinal tears and detachment associated with vitreous detachment is higher in patients with myopic retinal degeneration, lattice degeneration, and a familial or personal history of previous retinal tears/detachment.
