Background summary
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common form of macular degeneration
characterized by the presence of subretinal fluid (SRF), most often found
subfoveally. In some cases there is spontaneous resolution of SRF, but if not
and left untreated it will result in irreversible vision loss. Although CSC is
a common disease, at present our knowledge on the pathogenesis of CSC is
scarce. Of particular interest appears to be a subgroup of patients with CSC
and myopic refraction. Possibly, the thinner choroid in myopia is potentially
protective for developing CSC.
Study objective
To demonstrate choroidal thickness of emmetropic and myopic CSC patients to be
significantly different.
Study design
Cross-sectional, observational study.
Study burden and risks
This is an observational study. Risks are negligible.
