Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Multifocal Electroretinogram Amplitudes

    Amplitude at first annular ring at multifocal electroretinogram RETIscan (Roland Consult, Wiesbaden, Germany) is used for multifocal retinogram. The recording protocol was chosen according to the International Society for Clinical Electro-physiology of Vision (ISCEV) guidelines.

    baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Best Corrected Visual Acuity

    baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT)

Focal laser photocoagulation (focal)

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

1. Laser Group: extrafoveal focal leakage on FAG 2. photodynamic therapy Group: no definite focal leak on FAG subfoveal or juxtafoveal focal leakage on FAG, or s-RPED involving foveal center

You may qualify if:

  • CSC (over 3 months) when subretinal fluid persisted in the subfoveal region demonstrated by clinical examination and OCT
  • Ability to maintain steady fixation for mfERG
  • Presence of abnormal dilated choroidal vasculature in ICGA
  • Symptom duration over 3 months

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous PDT or laser treatment history
  • Evidence of CNV in FAG
  • Other chorioretinal disorders that can cause macular exudation such as age-related macular degeneration, pathologic myopia, angioid streaks, trauma, inflammatory diseases, retinal vasculopathies, and hereditary dystrophies
