RESUMO
PURPOSE: The study aims to analyze the 10-year outcomes in "simple" and "complex" central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and to evaluate the longitudinal changes in multifocal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations. METHODS: This was a retrospective, multicentric, longitudinal, observational study in patients with a diagnosis of CSCR. Visual acuity outcomes and recurrence characteristics of simple and complex were analyzed. Changes in number of foci of RPE alterations from baseline to last visit were evaluated. RESULTS: Out of 235 eyes screened, the study included 67 eyes of 39 patients (32 males and 7 females) with CSCR (12 simple and 55 complex CSCR). A total of 17 (29.9%) eyes had a unifocal RPE alteration, while the remaining 50 had multifocal RPE alterations at baseline. In eyes with complex CSCR, the 10-year visual acuity was significantly worse (p < 0.001), more number of eyes required treatment (p = 0.03), higher number of RPE alterations were present at baseline and last follow-up (p < 0.001 for both), and number of recurrences were higher (p < 0.001), than simple CSCR. Focal collections of RPE alterations and leakage site corresponded to mid-phase hyper-fluorescent plaques (MPHP) in all eyes. On multivariate regression analysis, a larger area of RPE alteration was associated with a worser 10-year visual acuity (p = 0.004) and complex CSCR was associated with higher number of recurrence (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION: A different course of disease progression was seen in simple and complex CSCR. An evolution in foci of RPE alterations was seen, from a simple area of MPHP, to focal RPE alterations and finally to leakage.

PURPOSE: To assess the influence of fellow eye information on diagnosis and classification of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) using multimodal imaging-based classification. METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational study including patients with CSCR with unilateral or bilateral involvement. Multimodal images of both eyes of each patient were compiled and presented to two masked retina specialists subdivided into three groups: (1) both eye data, (2) right eye data and (3) left eye data. The masked observers graded the CSCR as per the new CSCR classification into simple and complex CSCR in three different scenarios as subdivided above. Interobserver and intraobserver agreement was assessed using Cohen's kappa (95% confidence intervals). RESULTS: A total of 206 eyes of 103 patients with unilateral or bilateral CSCR were graded. We found a "strong" intraobserver and interobserver agreement when one eye versus both eye data was provided in terms of "simple CSCR" or "complex CSCR" (kappa value = 0.77 and 0.87, p < 0.001, and kappa value = 0.85 and 0.76, p < 0.001, respectively). Forty-three eyes (10.55%) showed discrepancy in classification between observers for individual eyes, whereas only 13 eyes (6.53%) showed discrepancy between observers when both eye data was provided. CONCLUSION: We conclude that fellow eye information was helpful in solving diagnostic dilemmas and reached 85% consensus in the diagnosis of CSCR between the observers. We found that information of fellow eyes led to a discrepancy only in 6.53% cases with 2.42% cases that had a controversial diagnosis of CSCR. Multimodal imaging-based CSCR classification provides objective approach to diagnose and classify CSCR.

PURPOSE: To study interocular asymmetry in distribution of leaks in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients with unilateral CSC were included in this retrospective multicenter study. All patients received multimodal imaging. The prevalence of leaks within 1 disk diameter (DD) peripapillary area and the mean shortest distance between a leak and the optic disk edge was analyzed for the right and left eyes separately based on FA images. Clinical and morphological characteristics were collected and compared between eyes with a peripapillary leak and eyes with a leak elsewhere. RESULTS: In total, 152 eyes (77 right eyes and 75 left eyes) of 152 patients (128 males and 24 females) with a mean age of 45.2 ± 9.8 years were included. The mean distance from the leak to the edge of the optic disk was statistically significantly lower (p = 0.0003), and the prevalence of the leaks within the 1 DD-peripapillary area was higher in the left eye than in the right eye (32.1% versus 10.7%, respectively, p = 0.0017). The eyes with a peripapillary leak had a longer duration of the disease (p < 0.05), a wider area of retinal pigment epithelium alteration (p < 0.001), and a higher prevalence of outer retinal atrophy (p < 0.001) compared to the eyes with a leak elsewhere. CONCLUSION: The left eye showed closer location of the leak to the optic disk edge and higher prevalence of leaks within the peripapillary area. The cases with peripapillary leak commonly demonstrated characteristics of chronic CSC despite relative preservation of visual acuity.

PURPOSE: To compare the disease characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) presenting with visual acuity (VA) 6/60 or better in two different health systems. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of consecutive patients with NVG who presented between January 2016 to January 2018 in 5 tertiary-centres in India and one eye-specialist centre in London (UK) was performed. The baseline characteristics, treatment provisions, and visual outcomes in the India and UK cohorts were compared. RESULTS: At presentation, 18% (83 of 451) and 22% (59 of 270) of patients with NVG had VA 6/60 or better in India and the UK cohorts, respectively. The aetiologies of NVG were similar with proliferative diabetic retinopathy being the most common cause (60.9%, India; 64.4%, UK; p = 0.38). Previous panretinal photocoagulation was more prevalent in the UK cohort compared to the India cohort (94.9% versus 66.3%, respectively; p < 0.001). The mean number of intravitreal anti-VEGF injections per eye was higher in the Indian cohort (1.65 ± 0.97 versus 1.14 ± 1.02 injections; p < 0.001). The number of eyes with closed angles (36.9% India versus 30.5% UK; p = 0.45) and the number of eyes needing glaucoma interventions (52.1% India; 62.7% UK; p = 0.82) were similar in two cohorts. Among glaucoma surgeries, trabeculectomies were more commonly performed in the Indian cohort (23 vs 4; p < 0.001),while glaucoma drainage device surgeries were more prevalent in the UK cohort (18 vs 4 p < 0.001). After a median follow-up of 21 months (IQR 8.4-34.8 India; 24-36 months UK), favourable visual outcomes (vision stable or improved) were similar in both health systems (52.5% in the Indian cohort vs 43.4% in the UK cohort; p = 0.28). On multivariate regression analysis, the need for trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation was associated with worse visual outcomes in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: The causes and clinical profile of neovascular glaucoma with presenting visual acuity 6/60 or better in India and the UK were similar. Only up to 50% of eyes achieved favourable visual outcomes with current management protocols in both health systems.

METHODS: This pilot clinical trial included 10 eyes of 10 patients with idiopathic MH, where PPV along with ILMP was done. Fibrin glue was used as a tamponade, and no postoperative positioning was given to any patient. The primary outcome measure was successful anatomical closure of the MH. The secondary outcome measures were postoperative improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and any complications of the procedure. RESULTS: The median age of patients was 62.5 years. Eight eyes were pseudophakic and two were phakic. The mean basal diameter of the MH was 1193 microns. The mean minimal linear diameter was 652 microns. Successful anatomic closure of MH was achieved in eight cases. The median BCVA improved from a Snellen equivalent of 20/100 preoperatively to 20/60 at 1 month postoperatively. The median follow-up period was 4 months. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that the use of fibrin glue can be useful in patients where postoperative positioning is difficult.

PURPOSE: To analyse baseline imaging characteristics and factors affecting poor visual acuity in diabetic papillopathy. METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational study conducted at a tertiary eye care centre in eyes with a diagnosis of diabetic papillopathy. Demographic data including age, gender, duration of diabetes, type of diabetes, HbA1c values and other systemic co-morbidities were recorded. Baseline best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and various imaging characteristics were noted. RESULTS: 37 eyes of 22 patients with diagnosis of diabetic papillopathy were included [mean age of 46.6 ± 13.5 years, five (22.7%) females and 17 (77.3%) males]. Bilateral involvement was seen in 15 (68.2%) patients. The mean baseline BCVA was 0.51 ± 0.49 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 20/60). Two eyes (5.4%) had features of concurrent mild NPDR, 9 eyes (24.3%) had moderate NPDR, 10 eyes (27.03%) had severe NPDR while 16 (43.2%) other had PDR. All eyes had optic disc edema while 4 had disc pallor at presentation. Telangiectatic vessels/ neovascularisation of disc was present in 17 eyes (45.9%) detected either clinically or on optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography. 11 (29.7%) eyes had a peripapillary cuff of subretinal fluid accompanying the disc edema. Sixteen eyes (43.2%) had centre involving macular edema seen on OCT. In eyes with a macular edema, the mean central macular thickness was 407.4 ± 71.42 microns at baseline. On assessing the baseline factors that contribute to the final visual acuity, presenting visual acuity was the only variable found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Although described to have good visual outcome, eyes presenting with poor visual acuity tend to have worse vision on follow up. This may aid in prognosticating and guiding management plan.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To describe a potential biomarker termed as inner choroidal fibrosis in cases of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) presenting to a tertiary referral center. DESIGN: Observational case series. METHODS: Five eyes of 4 patients with CSCR were noted to have a gray-white subretinal lesion in the macula, which was analyzed with multimodal imaging. RESULTS: The lesions were hypofluorescent on autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine angiography. In all cases, a characteristic heterogeneous, hyperreflective lesion in the inner choroid was seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT), corresponding to the white subretinal lesions. The lesion was distinct from the adjacent choroid, with greater reflectivity and greater thickness than the adjacent compressed choroidal vasculature. The dilated outer pachyvessels were pushed outward or sideways in all cases. On OCT-angiography, the corresponding lesion showed flow void areas. We have termed this zone of inner choroidal hyperreflectivity "inner choroidal fibrosis." Upon analyzing the clinical course, 3 of the patients had a history of choroidal neovascularization. The contralateral eye in 2 of these 3 patients also developed choroidal neovascularization. Three of the eyes had an overlying focal choroidal excavation. CONCLUSIONS: We report a potential biomarker of CSCR termed "inner choroidal fibrosis" in 4 cases of chronic CSCR. It can best be identified on enhanced depth or swept source OCT as a region of heterogeneous hyperreflectivity in the inner choroid. This fibrosis could be regarded as a degenerative process secondary to more severe disease in the past.

PURPOSE: To analyse the gender-specific differences in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) based on a new multimodal imaging classification system. METHOD: This was a retrospective, multicentric, longitudinal, observational study in patients with a diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral CSCR. Visual acuity outcomes and differences based on 'Simple' and 'Complex' CSCR were analysed. The occurrence of choroidal neovascularization (CNVM) and number of recurrences were also compared. Regression analysis was used to evaluate baseline predictors of final visual acuity. RESULTS: The study included 109 eyes of 58 patients (55 eyes of 28 female patients and 54 eyes of 30 male patients). Simple CSCR was seen in 8 (14.8%) eyes and 21 (38.2%) eyes in male and female groups respectively, while complex CSCR was seen in 46 (85.2%) eyes and 34 (61.8%) eyes in male and female groups respectively (p = 0.005). Recurrence was more commonly seen in males (34 eyes) than in females (23 eyes) (p = 0.03). Males (96.7%) were also significantly more likely to have a bilateral presentation (78.6% in females) (p = 0.03). Conversely, CNVM was more commonly seen in female eyes (8 eyes) than male eyes (4 eyes) (p = 0.23). On multivariable regression analysis, factors affecting reduced need for treatment were history of steroid use, good visual acuity at baseline, and simple CSCR. Factors affecting good final visual acuity were history of steroid use, good visual acuity at baseline, and younger age. CONCLUSION: Males tended to have complex CSCR and recurrence compared to the female sub-group, while females exhibited CNVM more commonly than males.

A man in his 70s presented with a 1-month history of vision loss in the right eye. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the affected eye was limited to counting fingers at close range. The examination revealed a macular hole with associated retinal detachment in the right eye and features of pathological myopia in both eyes. A macular buckling surgery was performed and resulted in a successful anatomical and functional outcome. Postoperatively, at week 10, the patient developed diplopia and buckle exposure. Therefore, the buckle was removed. However, the patient maintained a BCVA of 20/250 with an attached retina and closed macular hole after 6 months of follow-up.

PURPOSE: To describe the outcomes of fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular holes. METHOD: This was a prospective, interventional case series in patients with idiopathic macular holes. Patients underwent fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with the help of a finesse loop. The primary outcome measure was successful anatomical closure. Secondary outcome measures were postoperative improvement in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) or any surgical complications. RESULTS: The study included 22 eyes of 22 patients (median age of 61 (IQR 58 to 66) years). The median basal diameter of the holes was 1054 (IQR 961.5 to 1278) microns, while the median minimal linear diameter was 697 (IQR 461.5 to 786) microns. Successful anatomic closure was achieved in nine cases out of 22 (40.9%). BCVA improved from 20/125 preoperatively to 20/80 at the end of the follow-up. There was no difference in baseline parameters between eyes with closure, versus eyes with an open hole. One eye had an iatrogenic break in an attempt to reinitiate peeling and create a fovea-sparing flap. One of the eyes had an ERM formation at end of 3 months. CONCLUSION: Our outcomes of fovea-sparing ILM peeling in idiopathic macular holes were unfavourable. The residual ILM could be causing tangential traction resulting in non-closure.

PURPOSE: To determine the postoperative en face OCT pattern of closure in idiopathic macular holes (MHs). DESIGN: Retrospective, multicentric, observational study. PARTICIPANTS: Patients aged > 18 years with a diagnosis of idiopathic MH, with well documented en face OCT images. METHODS: Baseline characteristics and preoperative OCT and en face OCT parameters like horizontal and vertical minimum linear diameter (MLD), horizontal and vertical basal hole diameter (BHD), hole height, acircularity index, and hole orientation were measured. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The type of hole closure on en face OCT, and a comparison of baseline parameters and final visual acuity among the en face closure types. RESULTS: A total of 64 eyes of 62 patients (24 men and 40 women) with a mean age of 63.8 ± 12.4 years. The median duration of symptoms was 3 months (interquartile range, 1.75-10.5). The eyes had a mean baseline visual acuity of 0.97 ± 0.46 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). The baseline horizontal MLD was 591.7 ± 219.4 µm and the vertical MLD was 552.9 ± 198.2 µm. Baseline horizontal and vertical BHD were 1240.3 ± 521.1 µm and 1142.1 ± 478.1 µm, respectively. The mean hole height was 394.8 ± 123.2 µm. Two different patterns were noted on en face OCT: round, or linear. A total of 38 eyes had a round/centripetal closure and 26 eyes had a linear closure (17 eyes had a horizontal closure, 7 eyes had an oblique closure, while 2 eyes had a vertical closure). The mean final visual acuity was 0.80 ± 0.43 logMAR (Snellen equivalent of 20/125). Eyes with linear closure (0.76 ± 0.23 logMAR) had a significantly (P = 0.03) better visual acuity than the round closure group (1.07 ± 0.28 logMAR), only in eyes with horizontal MLD of > 650 µm, but not when other MLD cut-offs were used. CONCLUSION: We describe 2 different patterns of hole closure (linear and round) on en face OCT. Further studies will be required to determine its functional significance.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is an auto-immune inflammatory disease of choroidal origin. During the acute stage, optical coherence tomography (OCT), however, may not be able to assess the entire choroid. The aims of the paper were to evaluate the role of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a biomarker of inflammation in acute VKH. This was a retrospective observational study done in 55 eyes of 29 patients with acute VKH. RPE thickness, total choroidal thickness, and RPE reflectivity before and after resolution were analyzed using image J software. Correlations between several baseline and post-resolution parameters were performed, and factors affecting change in visual acuity were analyzed. A significant decrease in RPE thickness and a significant increase in RPE reflectivity were seen following resolution of the disease. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between RPE and choroidal thickness during the acute stage of the disease. Baseline visual acuity and the presence of bacillary detachment at baseline were the only factors responsible for changes in visual acuity. We propose the utility of RPE layer as a surrogate biomarker of choroidal activity and inflammation in terms of RPE reflectivity and RPE thickness during the acute stage of VKH, especially when there is poor imaging of the choroid.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To report the disease pattern, progression and imaging characteristics in eyes with bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). METHODS: This was a retrospective case review of bilateral CSCR patients with active disease in at least one eye. Multimodal imaging including fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine angiography (FA/ICGA) was done at baseline and follow-up visits. Disease classification was done using recently described classification criteria. The degree of asymmetry in the disease distribution pattern at baseline and disease progression during follow-up visit with a minimum duration of 12 months was studied. RESULTS: Among 103 CSCR patients, 36 patients (34.95%) with mean age of 53.6 ± 10.5 years had bilateral CSCR at baseline. Five patients (13.9%) had asymmetrical disease i.e. simple in one eye and complex in fellow eye. The remaining 31 patients had symmetric disease (simple, 2; complex 29). Mean duration of follow up was 17.58 ± 13.84 months. There was no significant difference between both eye parameters at last follow up (best corrected visual acuity, BCVA; central macular thickness, CMT; and subfoveal choroidal thickness, SFCT) (all p > 0.05). At last follow up, 22 eyes (2 simple and 20 complex) remained active whereas none of the eyes converted from simple to complex CSCR. CONCLUSION: Bilateral disease was more commonly seen with complex CSCR in contrast to simple CSCR. Moreover, disease distribution in complex CSCR had symmetric pattern if bilateral disease was present. None of the simple CSCR eyes converted to complex type.

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the longitudinal changes in visual acuity and risk factors for recurrence or development of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in eyes with acute or chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). METHODS: This was a retrospective, multicentric, longitudinal, observational study done in patients with a diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral CSCR and having at least 4 years of follow-up between the years 1999 and 2020. Kaplan-Meier curves were used for assessing cumulative risks. Multivariate logistic, linear and cox regression models were used for risk factor analyses. The trend in visual acuity, cumulative risks of recurrence and CNV formation was analysed. RESULTS: A total of 117 out of 175 eyes (66.8%) had stable or improvement in vision at last follow-up, while 24 eyes had more than/equal to 3 line loss of vision. Four eyes (7.7%) with acute CSCR at initial presentation developed features of chronic CSCR at the final presentation. Thirty-seven eyes had recurrence during the follow-up with a 10-year cumulative recurrence rate of around 30%. On Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, history of previous treatment and male gender (p = 0.03) were associated with a lower risk of recurrence. Twenty-four developed de novo CNV by the end of follow-up and higher age (p = 0.001) and a higher number of recurrences (p = 0.05) were associated with a higher risk of early de novo CNV formation. The cumulative 10-year CNV development rate was 17.4%. CONCLUSION: A non-temporal relationship between acute and chronic CSCR was seen. Previous treatment, smoking and baseline RPE abnormality affected recurrence of SRF or CNV formation.

This study evaluated predictors for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) based on multimodal imaging. A retrospective multicenter chart review was conducted on 134 eyes of 132 consecutive patients with CSCR. Eyes were classified as per the multimodal imaging-based classification of CSCR at baseline into simple/complex CSCR and primary episode/recurrent/resolved CSCR. Baseline characteristics of CNV and predictors were evaluated with ANOVA. In 134 eyes with CSCR, 32.8% had CNV (n = 44) with 72.7% having complex CSCR (n = 32), 22.7% having simple (n = 10) and 4.5% having atypical (n = 2). Primary CSCR with CNV were older (58 vs. 47, p = 0.00003), with worse visual acuity (0.56 vs. 0.75, p = 0.01) and of longer duration (median 7 vs. 1, p = 0.0002) than those without CNV. Similarly, recurrent CSCR with CNV were older (61 vs. 52, p = 0.004) than those without CNV. Patients with complex CSCR were 2.72 times more likely to have CNV than patients with simple CSCR. In conclusion, CNV associated with CSCR was more likely in complex CSCR and older age of presentation. Both primary and recurrent CSCR are implicated in CNV development. Patients with complex CSCR were 2.72 times more likely to have CNV than patients with simple CSCR. Multimodal imaging-based classification of CSCR supports detailed analysis of associated CNV.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Chorioretinitis sclopetaria (CS) is a rare consequence of ocular injury. Its association with open globe injury (OGI) and retinal detachment (RD) is controversial. This study evaluates patterns of chorioretinitis sclopetaria and its association with open globe injury and retinal detachment. CASE: This is an electronic review of records of a tertiary eye care institute of south India with descriptive analysis of six cases. Cases where fundus findings of chorioretinitis sclopetaria were available were included. Information regarding mode of injury, visual outcomes, follow up and causes of poor visual outcomes were obtained. Presence of open globe injury, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and orbital foreign body (FB) was also noted. Ultrasound scans of the eyeball were reviewed for presence of signs of chorioretinitis sclopetaria. OBSERVATIONS: All the injured patients were male (age range 23-52 years). Bullet and blast injuries were the modes of injury. The duration since injury to the last follow up ranged from 0.25 to 12 years. The final visual acuity was <20/200 in 3/6 cases. Open globe injury and retinal detachment was noted in one case each, while 3/5 cases had orbital foreign body. Extensive facial and neuro-surgery were required in 2/6 cases. Sonography showed signs of chorioretinitis sclopetaria in 2/3 cases where scans were available for review. CONCLUSIONS: Though manifestations of chorioretinitis sclopetaria evolve with time with visual improvement, final visual acuity is generally poor. Cases of chorioretinitis sclopetaria may have accompanying retinal detachment or open globe injury. Sonography should be evaluated with a high degree of suspicion for chorioretinitis sclopetaria in typical cases.

PURPOSE: To report the clinical features, multi-modal imaging characteristics and their corroboration, and prognostic value of internal limiting membrane detachment (ILMD), a novel OCT biomarker in acute CRAO. DESIGN: Retrospective observational case-control study at institutional tertiary eye care centers. METHODS: 60 eyes of 60 patients of acute CRAO with optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline were included. Eyes were grouped in (a) With ILMD; (b) With no-ILMD. Multimodal imaging correlation, BCVA change and binary logistic regression were studied. RESULTS: Eighteen eyes (30%) were noted to have ILMD. At presentation, ILMD on OCT corroborated with macular non-perfusion with enlarged foveal avascular zone both on OCT-angiography (OCTA) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). On follow-up, ILMD had resolved in all cases with fragmentation, disruption and atrophy of the retinal layers. Logistic regression showed poor baseline visual acuity was significantly associated with the odds of ILMD [Odds Ratio (OR) 31.02, p = 0.0018, 95% confidence interval: 1.81-529] while controlling for potential confounders including age (p = 0.60), gender (p = 0.316) duration of symptoms (p = 0.114), follow-up duration (p = 0.450) and final BCVA (p = 0.357). Eyes with ILMD and no-ILMD had a baseline BCVA of 2.62 LogMAR (light perception) and 2.05 LogMAR (Snellen equivalent 20/2000), respectively. On follow up, none of the eyes with ILMD showed any improvement. In contrast, nine (21.4%) eyes in no-ILMD had a vision of 20/400 and above with a mean final visual acuity of 1.87 + 0.78 LogMAR (p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: ILMD correlated with macular non-perfusion and poor baseline visual acuity which showed no improvement on follow-up, suggesting it to be poor prognostic biomarker.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate visual acuity (VA) and factors influencing VA using new multimodal imaging-based classification of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). METHODS: Retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study on 229 naïve eyes diagnosed as CSCR with available baseline data and multimodal imaging. Each case was classified into (i) simple/complex/atypical; (ii) primary/recurrent/resolved; (iii) persistent or not; (iv) outer retinal atrophy(ORA) present/absent; (v) foveal involvement present/absent; and (vi) macular neovascularization(MNV) present/absent. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was correlated to the classification as well as every parameter of the classification. RESULTS: Median BCVA was 0.18 logMAR [95% Confidence Interval (CI)0.16-0.18] with median duration of complaints of one month (95% CI,6.14-13.0 months). Age of the patient (r = -0.24, p = 0.002) and duration of the disease (r = -0.32, p < 0.001) correlated significantly with BCVA. Logistic regression model showed that older age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.96, p = 0.05], female gender (OR = 2.45, p = 0.046), presence of ORA(OR = 0.34, p = 0.012),and foveal involvement(OR = 0.18, p = 0.007) were statistically significantly associated with poorer BCVA. Eyes classified as complex, persistent CSCR, with ORA or foveal involvement demonstrated lower BCVA compared to those with simple, non-persistent CSCR, without ORA or without foveal involvement (p < 0.05). Eyes with complex CSCR (p < 0.001), atypical CSCR(p = 0.025), persistent subretinal fluid (SRF) (p = 0.001) and those with ORA (p < 0.001) demonstrated a trend towards severe visual loss. Prevalence of persistent SRF, recurrent episodes and ORA was significantly higher among eyes with complex CSCR (p < 0.001) while there was no difference in prevalence of resolved cases (p = 0.07), foveal involvement (p = 0.28) and MNV (p = 0.45) between simple and complex cases. CONCLUSION: There is a strong correlation between VA and foveal involvement and ORA using the new classification. Thus, the objective parameters of the classification can be incorporated in establishing the treatment guidelines for CSCR.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the follow up and treatment outcome of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) based on the new multimodal imaging-based classification and identify the predictors for anatomic and visual outcome. METHODS: Retrospective, multicentric study on 95 eyes diagnosed with CSCR and a follow up of at least 12 months were included. Eyes with macular neovascularization, atypical CSCR or any other disease were excluded. RESULTS: At the baseline, observation was advised to 70% eyes with simple CSCR whereas photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed in 49% eyes with complex CSCR. Over the follow up, decrease in CMT was significantly higher in simple CSCR as compared to complex CSCR (P = 0.008) and the recurrences were significantly more in eyes with lower CMT at baseline (P = 0.0002). Median time of resolution of SRF was 3 months and 6 months in simple and complex CSCR respectively (P = 0.09). For the 12 months follow up, the median fluid free period was greater (P = 0.03) while number of interventions performed was lesser in eyes with simple CSCR as compared to complex CSCR (P = 0.006). Multiple regression analysis showed baseline best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and baseline persistent SRF to be significantly predictive of BCVA and persistent SRF at 12 months (P < 0.0001, 0.04) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Complex CSCR more often required PDT, was associated with shorter fluid free interval and longer time for SRF resolution. Baseline BCVA and persistent SRF were predictive of final visual and anatomical outcome. The new multimodal imaging based classification is helpful in establishing objective criteria for planning treatment approaches for CSCR.
