ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the changes in macular structures following subthreshold micropulse laser (SHML) treatment for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC).METHODS:
Data of 33 eyes from 31 cCSC patients treated with SHML and followed up for at least 6 months has been included in this retrospective study. Main outcome measurements include resolution of subretinal fluid (SRF) and pigment epithelial detachment (PED), the recovery of ellipsoid zone (EZ) continuity, and the foveal outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness along with its ratio.RESULTS:
Mean observation period is 7.355 months (ranging from 6 to 24 months) and mean number of treatments administered is 1.839 (ranging from 1 to 5). 6 months after SHML treatment, there is a significant decrease in the area of SRF and PED (P < 0.001, P = 0.010, respectively). Additionally, the frequency of continuous EZ and the foveal ONL thickness reveal a significant increase (P<0.001, P = 0.005, respectively). The ratio of foveal ONL thickness is significantly higher after laser treatment, particularly in patients with a disease duration of ≤12 months (p = 0.022, P=0.036, respectively).CONCLUSION:
SHML treatment proves to be effective in cCSC eyes, leading to satisfactory recovery of macular structures, especially the photoreceptor layer.Palavras-chave
