NCT01434095

Brief Summary

A half-dose photodynamic therapy, a relative new treatment, has been widely performed to treat central serous chorioretinopathy. The researchers aimed to investigate whether the therapy improved the patient's visual acuity as well as the retinal sensitivity. The researchers also investigate which clinical factors, if any, were associated with the results; visual acuity or retinal sensitivity after the treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • best corrected visual acuity

    one year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • retinal sensitivity

    one year

Study Arms (1)

half-dose PDT(photodynamic therapy)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The study include single arm; treated group, and no control group was included.

Procedure: half-dose photodynamic therapy

Interventions

photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed using 3 mg/m2 body surface area of verteporfin (Visudyne, Novartis AG, Bülach, Switzerland) which is one-half the conventional dose of verteporfin. The verteporfin was infused over a 10 minute period followed by the delivery of 50 J/cm2 from a 689-nm laser system (Carl Zeiss, Dublin, CA) over an 83-second exposure time.
