[Microperimetry evaluation in central serous chorioretinopathy].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the macular fixation and retinal sensitivity of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) with MP-1 microperimeter (Nidek Technologies, Vigonza, Italy).


METHODS
Nineteen consecutive patients (total 21 eyes; 5 eyes of chronic stage, 6 eyes of acute stage, 5 eyes of recovering stage, and 5 eyes of recurring stage; 10 eyes of visual acuity no less than 1.0, 6 eyes of 0.6-0.9 and 5 eyes of no better than 0.5)and 20 normal control subjects (20 eyes) were evaluated. MP-1 microperimeter was used to quantify macular sensitivity and fixation.


RESULTS
The difference of fixation between the CSC and the control eyes is not significant (P > 0.05). The retinal sensitivity in CSC declined significantly (P < 0.05) and varied significantly in different groups(P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
MP-1 microperimeter can quantifiably evaluate the fixation and macular sensitivity of CSC. Moreover, it improves the functional evaluation in CSC.
