title: Central serous chorioretinopathy treated with navigated retinal laser photocoagulation: visual acuity and retinal sensitivity.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of navigated retinal laser photocoagulation on visual acuity (VA) and retinal sensitivity in eyes with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series of 30 eyes of 29 patients with acute CSC were treated using navigated photocoagulation. Patients were monitored for 180 days.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Mean VA improved from 0.3 ± 0.1 to 0.1 ± 0.1 logMAR (P < .001). Mean retinal sensitivity within central 8° and 4° improved from 9.4 ± 4.7 dB to 14.9 ± 3.6 dB and from 9.0 ± 5.6 dB to 14.6 ± 4.2 dB respectively (P < .001). In all cases, a decrease in mean central retinal thickness of -50.6 ± 2.9 µm (P < .001) and in mean subretinal fluid thickness of -52.0 ± 3.3 µm (P < .001) was observed during follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Navigated retinal laser photocoagulation demonstrated safety and accuracy for the treatment of acute CSC. VA and retinal sensitivity evaluations showed a significant improvement associated with resolution of the subretinal fluid during follow-up.
