Liquid crystal display microperimetry in idiopathic subretinal fibrosis.
A 46-year-old woman presented with a history of decreased vision. On examination, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 in both eyes. Fundus evaluation of the right eye revealed subretinal fibrosis of the macula involving the fovea. The fundus of the left eye was normal. Fluorescein angiography confirmed the diagnosis. At 10 months of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and the visual acuity was stable at 20/25 in both eyes. Liquid crystal display microperimetry showed comparable retinal sensitivity in both eyes (P> .05). However, the right eye revealed unstable fixation compared to the left eye. Idiopathic subretinal fibrosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with subretinal fibrosis. Liquid crystal display microperimetry is a useful tool in evaluating these patients.
