title: [Abnormalities of retinal function (light sense) following idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy and diffuse retinal epitheliopathy].
abstract: Although central serous retinopathy is considered a "benign" condition, it is associated in healed forms with frequent and troublesome impairment of visual function. The abnormalities are even more severe after diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy. Since Snellen visual acuity testing is a relatively imprecise index of visual function, it does not enable the subtle visual disturbances experienced by these patients to be fully appreciated. The authors evaluated visual function disorders by static automated perimetry and contrast sensitivity in 30 patients with healed central serous retinopathy and in five patients with diffuse epitheliopathy at a cicatricial stage. The results of this study are examined and discussed.
