Chronic central serous chorioretinopathy: long-term follow-up and vision-related quality of life.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the clinical findings and long-term outcome of patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC).

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective case series in 52 eyes of 36 patients with a follow-up period of at least 1 year. Extensive ophthalmic examination and a validated questionnaire concerning vision-related quality of life (National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire [NEI-VFQ]-39) were analyzed.

Results

Mean visual acuity showed a significant decline over time of 0.16 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution ([logMAR] range: -0.22 to 1.3; P=0.009) after a mean follow-up period of 10.6 years. Also, patients reported lower vision-related quality of life based on the NEI-VFQ-39 for almost all categories compared to h
