Efficacy of Carbonic Anhydrase in Patients with X-Linked Retinoschisis

X-linked retinoschisis is a relatively common inherited retinal degenerative disease that almost exclusively affects males. No curative medical therapy is available for this condition; however, topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have been used for the management of cystoid fluid collections. Dr. Drew Carey interviews Drs. Jonathan Hensman and Camiel J.F. Boon on the results of their Ophthalmology Retina article, “Efficacy of Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors on Cystoid Fluid Collections and Visual Acuity in Patients with X-Linked Retinoschisis.”
