Abstract
Purpose:
To investigate the characteristic of anterior segment measurements in eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Methods:
This cross sectional study retrospectively included consecutive patients who were diagnosed as unilateral CSC. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography were obtained for a diagnosis. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive error, axial length, and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were evaluated. Acute CSC was defined as CSC with symptom duration of less than 6 months.
Results:
The 53 subjects had a mean age of 42.9±7.70 years and 39 (73.6%) of the patients were male. Between CSC eyes and fellow eyes, the differences in refractive error and adjusted axial length were not significant (P=0.995 and P=0.212, respectively). However, BCVA was worse (P<0.001) and ACD was shallower in CSC eyes than fellow eyes by 0.032±0.0875 mm (P=0.011). Forty-six (86.8%) eyes had acute CSC and 7 (13.2%) eyes had chronic CSC. ACD was shallower in acute CSC eyes than fellow eyes by 0.038±0.0881 mm (P=0.005). However, the difference in ACD was not significant between chronic CSC eyes and fellow eyes (P=0.932).
Conclusions:
ACD was shallower in eyes with acute CSC. In the early stage, CSC may influence the anterior ocular configuration including ACD.
