A 36-year-old man presented with blurred vision and aggravating metamorphopsia in his right eye 2 months after vitrectomy for macular pucker. Fundoscopic examination revealed tractional vitreous membrane around the previous peeling area (A). The OCT revealed perifoveal retinoschisis (B). The vision and metamorphopsia improved after the second vitrectomy with complete posterior vitreous detachment and larger internal limiting membrane peeling (C).
