“…Furthermore, the overall CS after resolution showed lower values compared to the normative data of CS in Caucasian subjects [ 19 ]. A previous study proposed the hypothesis that the fellow eye of CSC could have a subclinical manifestation [ 7 ]. The CS at 3 and 18 cpd in the fellow eye of CSC was compromised compared to the age-matched normal eye.…”

Purpose To evaluate contrast sensitivity (CS) changes in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods Visual acuity (VA), CS, and subretinal fluid (SRF) were evaluated monthly for 6 months. Treatment was considered at 3 months in case of persistent SRF. Results Twelve of 20 eyes (60%) had spontaneous SRF resolution within 4 months. Five of 8 patients with delayed SRF resolution received either focal laser or photodynamic therapy. The CS was impaired in all spatial frequencies at baseline. There was a negative correlation between the baseline SRF thickness and CS at 3 and 6 cycles per degree (cpd). The CS improved significantly at the time of fluid resolution (p = 0.001) and continued to improve in 3 and 6 cpd. The CS at 6 cpd did not recover if compared to a normal fellow eye at 6 months (p = 0.018). The CS of 12 cpd at 6 months was superior in the spontaneous resolution group. Conclusion The impaired CS gradually improved as the SRF reduced at all spatial frequencies. CS at 3 and 12 cpd continued to improve after complete fluid resolution. Despite an excellent final VA, the CS at 6 months did not regain its normal value.

“…That is because if patients are over 50 years then macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, or polypoidal choroid vasculopathy should be ruled out for CSC diagnosis [ 7 ]. OCT and ICG may help to differentiate from other diagnoses [ 8 ]. In our case, other differential diagnoses of CSC were eliminated with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA), and fundus examination.…”

“…Some central visual functions do not seem to recover in all eyes after CSCR even if the visual acuity has returned to normal [3,4,5, 26]. In our study, perimetric parameters have been evaluated to detect if any central visual functional deficits remained after resolved CSCR.…”

“…It is known to affect predominantly healthy adult males with ‘type A’ personalities and high-stress lifestyles [1]. Most eyes with CSCR undergo spontaneous resorption of subretinal fluid and recovery of visual acuity within 1–6 months of the onset of symptoms, although mild metamorphopsia, faint scotoma, abnormalities in contrast sensitivity and visual field, and a mild color vision deficit frequently persist [2,3,4,5,6]. …”

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a disorder characterized by the serous detachment of the sensory retina in the posterior pole. Although CSCR usually resolves spontaneously, the patients may notice residual visual deficits, despite recovering normal visual acuity. The aim of this study is to compare the blue-on-yellow perimetric parameters with conventional automated perimetric parameters in the detection of visual deficits in patients with resolved CSCR. Eighteen patients who had spontaneous recovered from CSCR were enrolled this study. All subjects were examined twice with each type of perimetry. Wilcoxon test was used for statistical analysis. The achromatic perimetric mean deviation values were significantly higher in patients with CSCR than in the control group, while statistically a significant difference was determined for all of blue-on-yellow perimetric values. In conclusion the loss of central retinal sensitivity remains after resolution of the CSCR even if the visual acuity has recovered to normal. Blue-on-yellow perimetry is more sensitive than achromatic perimetry to reveal this central sensitivity loss.

Abstract: Contrast sensitivity does not seem to recover in all eyes after CSC even if the visual acuity has returned to normal. Therefore, contrast sensitivity testing is recommended for the patients complaining of visual impairment in spite of good visual acuity.
