Abstract. The visual acuity, central retinal sensitivity, macular thresholds, contrast sensitivity and temporal visual acuity were employed to assess the long term visual outcome in 23 patients with a history of central serous retinopathy (CSR). Twenty patients had unilateral CSR, and 3 had had bilateral disease. The unaffected eyes had significantly better visual acuities (P<0.014), better retinal sensitivities (P<0.006) and lower macular thresholds (P<0.008) when compared with affected eyes. The eyes with CSR whose visual acuities were mildly affected (6/9) showed lower sensitivity for the high spatial frequency (P<0.0072). There was no significant difference in the temporal visual acuity between eyes with CSR and the non‐affected eyes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
