ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To compare the outcomes of fluorescein angiography (FA)-guided and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA)-guided half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods:
In this retrospective comparative study, medical records of eyes with chronic CSC who underwent half-dose PDT were reviewed. A retina specialist performed FA-guided half-dose PDT, and the other performed ICGA-guided treatment. The success of applying PDT in the resolution of subretinal fluid was compared between the FA- and ICGA-guided methods.Results:
Eighty-two eyes of 73 patients (41 eyes in each group) received half-dose PDT. After half-dose PDT, a significant improvement in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was found at the time of the last follow-up in both groups (both P < 0.001), with no significant intergroup difference. Central subfield and subfoveal choroidal thicknesses decreased significantly in both groups at the last follow-up (all P < 0.05), with no significant differences between the groups. Subretinal fluid (SRF) resolved in all eyes, and no persistent SRF was detected during the follow-up period.Conclusion:
FA-guided and ICG-guided half-dose PDT may have similar efficacy for the treatment of chronic CSC.
