Happy 10 year anniversary Retina San Diego! As a medical student I dreamt of a place where you could provide Advanced Individualized Medical Care to patients, which is why after residency in Ophthalmology and fellowship in Vitreoretinal Surgery, we created Retina San Diego. A center with the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic treatments in our field to improve our patients’ outcome in their journey to better retinal health.
It has been a true blessing to care for all the patients in our community. Thank you to our amazing team who makes this journey possible and enjoyable thanks to their dedication to great patient care. Thank you to all the amazing doctors in our community who have trusted their patients with us, it has been an honor to take care of them. I also would like to thank my family and especially my brother without whom this dream would’ve never been successful.

No greater purpose than to be of service to others. Blessed to have the opportunity to care for an amazing community and be an instrument in their path to better health. Also humbled to be recognized by a community of excellent doctors. It is a moment I owe to my family who sacrificed everything so their sons could live a life of service to others, and my amazing staff who is truly devoted to our patients.

X-linked Retinoschisis is a genetic retinal disease that can significantly affect vision.

Patients are usually diagnosed in their first decade when having difficulties reading at school. Vision ranges from 20/20 to 20/200 with an average of 20/70 in the second and third decade of life. It is secondary to mutations on the RS1 gene which is located on the X chromosome and encodes the protein complex Retinoschisin which is important for proper retinal structural development especially of photoreceptors and bipolar cells. As an X-linked disease, only males are affected and females are carriers.

Patients develop schisis of the macula as seen in this patient with spokewheel pattern of cystic spaces radiating from fovea. Peripheral retinoschsis can be seen in 50% of patients and is most commonly seen inferotemporally.

Treatment: Topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as dorzolamide should be attempted as it may improve macular cystic spaces and foveal thickness.

Patients should be monitored for risks of severe vision loss such as Retinal Detachment (5-20%) or vitreous hemorrhage.
