Long-term visual outcomes and causes of vision loss in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy
Ophthalmology Jan 22, 2019
Mrejen S, et al. - In this retrospective, longitudinal study, 217 eyes of 133 candidates were assessed to estimate the long-term visual consequences and circumstances causing vision loss in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) between May 1977 and March 2018. They used multimodal imaging comprised color photography, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to measure best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). They observed an association of cystoid macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, outer retinal disruption on OCT and FAF changes with poor vision at the final visit. They also noticed a link of advanced age at first visit with greater BCVA change at the 10-year follow-up visit. Hence, they concluded age at presentation and outer retinal changes on multimodal imaging as the predictors of long-term visual consequences.
