“…They still complained about the visual disturbance., this study showed similar results of contrast sensitivity loss with other studies in literature. (6,7,8) This shows the importance of measuring the contrast sensitivity along with visual acuity at each visit in the patients in acute onset of central serous chorioretinopathy.…”

To evaluate Contrast sensitivity and Colour vision during and after resolution of sub retinal fluid in Acute central serous retinopathy and their relation with the Visual acuity(VA) and Central macular thickness(CMT). Methodology: In this prospective observational study from Jan 2017sep 2017, 35 patients within the age group of 20-50 years were included. Patients are then divided into 2 groups depending on time taken for absorption of Sub retinal fluid (SRF) .Early resolution group(within 3 months)and delayed resolution group(>3 months) ,and all the patients included in the study were followed for 6 months. Results: In the early resolution group(68.6%) Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) 6/6 attained by 2 months, Contrast sensitivity becomes normal by 4.5 months, Colour vision attained normal range by 4 months. In the Delayed resolution group (31.43%), BCVA attained by 6months, even in cases with residual SRF. 63.6% cases showed moderate loss of contrast sensitivity(CS) and tritanopia even after complete resolution of SRF and with normal visual acuity. Persistent SRF cases (3 cases) showed severe colour vision loss and moderate CS loss. Conclusion: In the early resolution group the recovery of fine vision took about 1 month after resolution of SRF. In the delayed resolution group, the visual acuity showed low rate of improvement, attaining normal range by the end of 4 th month and 63.6% patients showed moderate contrast sensitivity loss even after resolution of SRF and with normal visual acuity. 63.63% of cases showed colour vision defect by the end of 6th month even after resolution of SRF, and had disturbed vision due to loss of colour and contrast sensitivity, necessitating the need for measures of early intervention like Laser or medical therapy to hasten early resolution of CSC, so that fine vision can be preserved in young working age group especially certain professions like drivers and pilots.

“…Previous reports demonstrated that low-contrast visual acuity tests as well as contrast sensitivity function measurements can be useful [ 14 ]. Several studies have reported contrast sensitivity in eyes with CSC [ 10 , 12 , 15 ]. Contrast sensitivity has been reportedly decreased in both eyes with active CSC and eyes with resolved CSC as compared with fellow eyes [ 12 , 15 ].…”

Clinical Factors Associated with Low-Contrast Visual Acuity after Reduced-Fluence Photodynamic Therapy in Patients with Resolved Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Good Baseline Visual Acuity

et al. 2021

This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the clinical factors associated with low-contrast visual acuity after reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy (RFPDT) in patients with resolved central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and good baseline visual acuity. A total of 45 eyes of 45 patients with resolved CSC at post-RFPDT and best-corrected visual acuity of >1.0 (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution [logMAR], 0) at baseline were examined. Visual acuities of both eyes were measured at four contrast levels (100%, 25%, 12%, and 6%) at post-RFPDT. The low-contrast visual acuity (6%, 12%, and 25%) was significantly lower than the 100% contrast visual acuity in the affected eyes. Visual acuities of affected eyes were significantly worse than those of fellow eyes at any contrast levels. The degree of changes in 6% and 100% contrast visual acuities was significantly greater in affected eyes than that in fellow eyes (p < 0.05). The 6% contrast visual acuities in affected eyes at post-RFPDT were significantly associated with the symptom duration (p < 0.05). Patients with a long duration of symptoms might have disturbed low-contrast visual acuities at post-RFPDT even if their baseline visual acuities were good.

“…CSF testing allows evaluation of visual performance in the low and middle spatial frequency ranges in addition to high frequency . Numerous ocular diseases and abnormalities affect CSF more than VA . Therefore, eye‐care practitioners may misdiagnose and/or improperly treat patients if CSF is not measured.…”
