What are the possible causes of retinal cysts?
Or, is there anyone with personal experience of retinal cysts? Friend of mine has retinal cysts, many in the left eye, 1 or 2 in the right eye. Yes, he’s lived in various countries in Africa so parasites are potentially to blame. But, if so, which ones? Is there anything other than parasites that it could be? Cited articles preferred – thanks.

Most retinal cysts are caused by heredity. I really don’t know of any other causes. This disorder is called retinoschisis and is predominately found in males.

There is oodles of information of this on the web, some links are:

http://children.webmd.com/Retinoschisis

Some pages cover more than this eye specific disorder so you need to page down to the part labelled retinoschisis.
