Abstract Details

Purpose:

To report central serous chorioretinopathy treated by a single physician with topical dorzolamid: A pilot study.

Setting:

compared basal visual acuity, central macular thickness after intervention

Methods:

These observational case studies included 9 eyes of 9 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy treated by a single physician with topical dorzolamid consecutively over a one month period. The central macular thickness and best-corrected visual acuity were measured and compared with baseline values. All eyes of 9 patients demonstrated subretinal fluid before or during the initiated treatment course. Subretinal fluid was measured and compared with baseline values in this subgroup.

Results:

In all eyes (n = 9) the mean age were 39± 6., best-corrected visual acuity improved at 0.5 months of treatment in 77%(7 cases) and 11.1% (1 case) within one month and 11.1% (1 case) in 2.5 months of follow up, indeed the mean central macular thickness showed improvement from 4.72.± 1.40 to 3.93±9.8 (p=0.2) The subretinal fluid was decreased during of mean 0.7.±0.6 months follow up of treatment; however, central macular thickness, choroidal thickness, and best-corrected visual acuity showed no significant change.

Conclusions:

Topical dorzolamid may improve best-corrected visual acuity and decrease subretinal fluid in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy,This pilot study demonstrates that topical dorzolamid may be effective in treating central serous chorioretinopathy
