BACKGROUND The therapeutic effects of Meriva®, a curcumin-phospholipid (lecithin) delivery system (formulated as Norflo® tablets), on visual acuity and retinal thickness in patients with acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy was previously investigated in a six-month open-label study. METHODS In this follow-up study, visual acuity was again assessed by ophthalmologic evaluation a...

OBJECTIVE To study the macular sensitivity after half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy in patients with resolved central serous chorioretinopathy using the automated static perimeter. METHODS Prospective consecutive case study of 24 patients with resolved central serous chorioretinopathy was performed. The macular sensitivity was measured using a conventional automated static perimeter w...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this open-label study was to investigate the effect of a curcumin-phospholipid (lecithin, Meriva(®)) formulation (Norflo(®) tablet) on visual acuity and retinal thickness in patients with acute or chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS Visual acuity was assessed by ophthalmologic evaluation, and optical coherence tomography was used to measure retinal thic...

Purpose The purpose of this case report was to present the clinical data and management of a 69-year-old female patient with chorioretinal folds who developed chronic central serous chorioretinopathy-like maculopathy. Case Presentation A 69-year-old female patient presented with a recent-onset slight decrease in visual acuity in her left eye. Her past ocular history was clear. Regarding her m...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment on remission of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS Twenty-five patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSCR) who were infected with H. pylori were treated with an anti-H. pylori treatment; another twenty-five patients with the same clinical presentations ...

PURPOSE To review the results of low-intensity/high-density subthreshold micropulse laser (SDM) for treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy. METHOD The records of all patients treated in a retinal subspecialty practice with SDM for central serous chorioretinopathy were reviewed. RESULTS Eleven consecutive eyes of 11 patients treated between October 2011 and April 2014 were identified ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of navigated laser (Navilas(®)) treatment for central serous chorioretinopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study included 16 eyes of 15 subjects with nonresolving central serous chorioretinopathy. Fluorescein-angiography guided Navilas(®) treatment was performed. Pre- and posttreatment best-corrected visual acuity, pre- and posttreatment ...

We report a case of ectopia lentis and central serous chorioretinopathy in a young female patient with several manifestations of Marfan syndrome in the skeletal, cardiovascular and dermatological systems. We can't conclude however that these two ocular abnormalities are linked.
