Visual prognosis in central serous choroidopathy: residual Amsler grid changes.
To assess residual changes on Amsler grid charting in central serous choroidopathy, 30 patients (34 eyes) with the disorder were followed from the time of onset of symptoms to the time of resolution of the disease. A total of 28 eyes, including all 3 with an acuity of 6/6 or better, had Amsler grid changes at presentation, compared with 13 eyes at the last follow-up visit. Significantly more patients with a disease duration of more than 8 weeks than those whose disease lasted 8 weeks or less had residual changes (p less than 0.01). Overall, 41% of the eyes had a final acuity of less than 6/6 or a residual change or both.
