Psychometric assessment of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy and correlation with disease stage and progression: a case control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) has frequently been associated with increased stress levels as well as an increased prevalence of other psychiatric conditions. This study used standardized psychometric scores to assess stress, depression and anxiety levels of CSC patients and compared them to controls without retinal disease ("healthy") and with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
