[Treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy with beta blockers]

On a group of 13 eyes the authors evaluate their experience with medicamentous treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy. For treatment they used the non-selective beta-blocker Trimepranol, 2 x 5 mg/day. They found that in 11 eyes, in 84.6% cases, adherence of the ablated neuroepithelium of the macula occurred latest within four months of treatment, in two eyes (15.4%) this therapeutic dose did not lead to remission of the disease even after four months of treatment and the condition was evaluated as failure of treatment. The authors conclude that a therapeutic dose of Trimepranol of 2 x 5 mg/day is not a reliable therapeutic solution of central serous chorioretinopathy.
