Abstract

Purpose:Analysing fundus autofluoroscence(AF) patterns in different stages of CSCR(central serous chorioretinopathy) to evaluate its potential as a non-invasive study tool.

Methods:Retrospective cross-sectional observational study including 60 patients. Acute(onset <6 weeks ago), chronic(onset >6 weeks ago), and sequelae of CSCR( previous CSCR having persistence symptoms without existing SRD) were defined. Funduscopy, AF, FA and OCT images compared. Standard statistical tools applied.

Results and Analysis:Decreased AF at leakage site(FA), hypoAF; and HyperAF at SRD(serous RD in OCT) were significantly associated with acute and chronic CSCR respectively. Linear univariate model found AF pattern as a significant factor predicting visual acuity. Mixed AF with RPE atrophy and descending tracts were seen in sequelae cases.

Conclusion:AF patterns alter with the course of CSCR. Simultaneous use of AF and OCT may help in determining the stage, predicting visual outcome and selecting treatment.
