Abstract

ABSTRACTPurpose: To evaluate vision-related quality of life in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Design: Prospective, cross-sectional study. Methods: The interviewer-administered National Eye Institute visual function questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) was used in 30 adult consecutive patients with chronic CSCR patients. The controls were 30 gender- and age-matched people with normal visual function who came from the same socioeconomic and educational background as the participants. Results: Patients with CSCR had statistically significant lower scores than controls for all the subscales, except for general health. In the study group, all subscale scores of vision-related quality of life, except general health, showed statistically significant negative correlations with the visual acuity. Conclusions: People with CSCR have worse vision-related quality of life than people without the condition.
