Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Selective Retina Therapy Laser Treatment in Patients with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the safety and efficacy of selective retina therapy (SRT) using a Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride laser with feedback systems in patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods

This randomized clinical trial enrolled patients having at least 3-month symptom of CSC. From month 3 visit, all subjects in both groups were eligible for SRT retreatment if they showed persistent or recurrent subretinal fluid (SRF). The primary outcome was complete resolution of SRF by optical coherence tomography at 3 months after treatment. The secondary outcomes were changes in SRF, central macular thickness (CMT) and best-corrected visual acuity at the 1-, 3-, and 6-month examinations.

Results

Sixty-eight CSC patients were incl
