  • Title: Effect of Serous Retinal Detachment on the Measurement of Axial Length in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
    Author: Shin YI, Won YK, Shin KS, Jo YJ, Kim JY.
    Journal: Korean J Ophthalmol; 2019 Feb; 33(1):63-69. PubMed ID: 30746913.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes of axial length (AXL) in eyes with unilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after resolution of serous retinal detachment. METHODS: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral CSC were included in this study. The changes of AXL according to serous retinal detachment were examined. The keratometric value and AXL were measured using partial coherence interferometry. Serous retinal detachment and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: The mean age of the 31 CSC patients, including 19 males, was 42.7 years. The AXL was significantly increased from 23.41 to 23.58 mm after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). The CMT was significantly decreased from 413.4 to 226.8 μm after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). The differences in AXL correlated with CMT differences and subretinal fluid height (r = -0.616, p < 0.001 and r = -0.637, p < 0.001, respectively), and the best-corrected visual acuity was significantly different after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In unilateral idiopathic CSC with serous retinal detachment, a shortened AXL in the acute phase was restored after resolution of serous retinal detachment.
