Randomized controlled trials in central serous chorioretinopathy: A review.

ABSTRACT: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), a common chorioretinal disease, presents with a myriad of manifestations. Acute CSCR presents with localized neurosensory detachment whereas chronic CSCR may show widespread retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes, chronic shallow subretinal fluid, and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) suggestive of a variable natural history leading to suboptimal visual outcomes.
