Abstract EN
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.
