A 56-year-old female presented with blurred vision in the right eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/18, N12 in the right eye and 6/6, N6 in the left eye. Fundus examination in both eyes showed significant tessellation. Spectral domain OCT revealed a split in the neurosensory retina at the level of Henle's layer nasal to fovea with schitic changes extending to fovea. En face OCT demonstrated a very characteristic half wheel or coral shaped pattern at the level of outer plexiform layer highlighting the complete extent of the retinoschisis [Figure 1]. | Figure 1: (a) Spectral domain Enface OCT image section at the level of outer retina showing a half wheel or coral shaped pattern distribution of schitic cavities nasal to fovea. (b) Horizontal line scan from Spectral domain OCT centered at fovea at the level of outer plexiform layer demonstrates nasal retinoschisis as a split in the outer retina with schitic changes extending to fovea

En face OCT has significantly improved our understanding about retinal anatomical disorders [1] and is a useful tool in the analysis of the schisis extent and pattern at multiple levels in neurosensory retina.[2],[3]
