Sympathetic-parasympathetic activity and reactivity in central serous chorioretinopathy: a case-control study.

Purpose: This case-control study was conducted to evaluate autonomic function activity and reactivity in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), because stress and type A personality, known risk factors, are also related to autonomic nervous system activity.
