  • Title: [Argon laser photocoagulation in the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy].
    Author: Jin C, Gao R, Hu Z.
    Journal: Yan Ke Xue Bao; 1994 Dec; 10(4):227-31. PubMed ID: 7774697.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-six cases (41 eyes) with central serous chorioretinopathy were treated by using argon laser photocoagulation. The results showed that the number of eyes with vision equal to or more than 1.0 increased from 7 (17.1%) pre-laser to 26 (63.4%) post-laser, while the number of eyes with vision less than 1.0 decreased from 25 (61%) pre-laser to 6 (14.6%) post-laser. The subretinal fluid was almost entirely absorbed from 1 week to 1 month after, and central fovea reflex could be seen in some cases. The results indicate that the vision prognosis is strongly related to the duration of the disease, but the direction of leakage to the fovea, the distance between the leakage and the fovea, and the dimension of sensory retina detachment are factors which weakly affect the post-laser vision.
