Abstract
To evaluate short-term efficacy of subthreshold micropulse laser therapy on chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) electrophysiologically and anatomically. This prospective study included 18 eyes with chronic CSC. Subthreshold micropulse laser therapy was applied to the eyes using Endpoint Management System (EpM). The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) measurements before and after one month of the treatment. The mean patient age was 47.3±5.7 years (ranged between 36 and 56). The mean symptomatic time of the disease was 12.7±3.33 months. Central macular thickness, choroidal thickness, subretinal fluid height and width showed statistically significant decreases after EpM treatment (p<0.05). P 1 amplitude of ring 1, 3, 4, and 5 in mfERG increased significantly (p< 0.05). The study demonstrated that, in both OCT and electrophysiological evaluations, EpM subthreshold laser therapy resulted in anatomical and functional improvements in chronic CSC.
