Abstract:
The therapeutic management of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) remains challenging. Although CSC shows a high rate of self-resorption, frequent recurrences or chronification of the disease can result in irreversible loss of vision. Low-dose photodynamic therapy (half-dose or half-fluence PDT) represents the current standard of care for CSC, although regenerative laser procedures may also offer a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of CSC.
