Long-term follow-up of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

We studied retrospectively the clinical files of 6 patients (11 eyes), who were diagnosed as CSCR between 1968 and 1986. They were all males, aged from 28 tot 46. The initial diagnosis of CSCR was based on the clinical symptoms and ophthalmic findings. It was supported by fluorescein angiography and later also by ICG angiography. Eight eyes have been treated by laser. After a follow-up of at least 15 years: 2 of the treated eyes and one untreated eye developed subretinal neovascularization; 6 of the treated eyes and one untreated eye progressed to diffuse pigment epitheliopathy; Final visual acuity was less than 2/10 in 6 eyes.
