We report the use of photodynamic therapy with verteporfin for subfoveal choroidal neovacularization in central serous chorioretinopathy. Visual acuity improved (0.5 to 1.0) 30 days after the first session. After 141 days, the choroidal neovascularization reactivated and the patient was retreated. Again, visual acuity improved (0.5 to 1.0) 30 days afterwards. It remains stable after 20 months. ...

PURPOSE To evaluate central serous chorioretinopathy with optical coherence tomography during the acute phase and after resolution of the acute phase. METHODS In a prospective study, 23 consecutive eyes of 23 patients (19 men, four women; mean age +/- SD, 46.0+/-8.1 years; range, 29 to 60 years) with central serous chorioretinopathy were examined with optical coherence tomography during the a...

AIMS Patients with central serous chorioretinopathy were tested for psychosomatic symptoms and social support at the onset of their ailments; their personality profiles were also tested. METHODS 24 consecutive outpatients at the department of ophthalmology, Freiburg University Hospital, Freiburg, Germany, presenting with central serous chorioretinopathy filled in the following standardised qu...

Normal retinal tissue consists of the nine-layer sensory retina on the vitreous side and onelayer retinal pigment epithelium on the choroidal side. Serous retinal detachment is a detachment of the sensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium. Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition causing local serous neurosensory detachment in the macular region. CSC causes circular or ova...

PURPOSE To investigate the relative involvement of chromatic and achromatic visual subsystems in central serous chorioretinopathy, and to correlate the function changes with the changes of the foveal photoreceptor layer using Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). METHODS Central serous chorioretinopathy patients and control subjects were tested and compared. Equiluminant Chrom...
