Long-Term Effects of Half-Time Photodynamic Therapy on Retinal Sensitivity in Eyes with Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Figure 1

Findings in patients with chronic central serious chorioretinopathy (CSC) treated by half-time photodynamic therapy (PDT). Microperimetric images and optical coherence tomographic images of the left eye of a 43-year-old man with chronic CSC treated with half-time PDT at the baseline (a) and at 12 months (b) and 24 months (c) after treatment. His baseline decimal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.9, and the mean retinal sensitivity was 19.7 dB. After the half-time PDT, the symptoms were improved, and the serous retinal detachment was resolved. At 12 months after the treatment, the decimal BCVA was 1.2 and the retinal sensitivity was 26.3 dB. At 24 months, his BCVA was 1.2 and the retinal sensitivity was 27.6 dB.
