Brief Summary

Acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common disorder in middle-aged patients, characterized by serous retinal detachment in the macular region. We evaluated half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy (hd-PDT) versus 689 nm laser treatment in chronic CSC. Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients with symptomatic chronic CSC were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive hd-PDT (group 1) or 689-LT delivering 95 J/cm2 by application of an intensity of 805 mW/cm2 over 118 seconds. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings were compared between groups.

Study Arms (2)

Half Dose Photodynamic Therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Half Dose Photodynamic Therapy The safety enhanced PDT protocol for CSC was performed using half the normal dose of verteporfin (Visudyne, Novartis Pharma, Switzerland), which is 3 mg/m2 verteporfin

Procedure: Half Dose Photodynamic Therapy

689 nm Laser Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

A 689 nm laser treatment delivering 95 J/cm2 by application of an intensity of 805 mW/cm2 over 118 seconds was performed. No verteporfin or other drugs were administered to the patients.

Procedure: 689 nm Laser Treatment of the Macula

Interventions

689 nm Laser Treatment
Half Dose Photodynamic Therapy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • age ≥18 years;
  • patients with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/200 or better;
  • presence of subretinal fluid (SRF) and/or serous pigment epithelial detachment involving the fovea on optical coherence tomography (OCT);
  • presence of active angiographic leakage in fluorescein angiography caused by CSC and no other diseases, and abnormal dilated choroidal vasculature and other features in indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) consistent with the diagnosis of CSC.

You may not qualify if:

  • any previous treatment for CSC;
  • evidence of choroidal neovascularization or other maculopathy on fundus examination.
