Evaluation of clinical and functional sequels of central serous chorioretinopathy. A case series analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and functional sequelae of patients with a diagnosis of resolved CSC, through macular OCT, contrast sensitivity test, visual field 10-2 and Farnsworth D-15 color test.

Methods: 27 eyes of 26 individuals with CSC resolved by macular OCT were included and evaluated; the patients underwent a contrast sensitivity test with the Optec 6500 equipment, a 10-2 visual field with an Octopus 900 Haag-Streit, and a Farnsworth D-15 color test.

Results: Sequelae were observed in 20 eyes (74.1%) by macular OCT and in 21 (77.8%) in contrast sensitivity, predominantly type 2 defect. Also 27 (100%) had a visual field 10-2 altered corresponding to reduced foveal sensitivity, 11 eyes (40.7%) corresponded to central and paracentral scotomas. The color test showed alteration in 11 (40.7%) of the total eyes evaluated, finding tritanomaly in 9 of them (81.8%). No significant differences were observed in the studies between observation group vs the treatment group.

Conclusions: CSC can leave sequelae in the visual quality of patients despite treatment in the acute phase. Visual acuity before and after treatment in the intervention group had no significant difference.
