Abstract:
Central serous chorioretinopathy is a disease which causes decreased visual acuity and functional disturbance. As the subretinal fluid is absorbed, the visual acuity is improved but patient's complaint such as metamorphosia is remained. To assess the recovery of visual functional disturbance in response to absorption of the fluid, the hue discrimination and contrast sensitivity were tested in central serous retinopathy patients (N=30) at the first visit, first visit after the absorption of subretinal fluid, and final visit. At the first visit, there were stastically significant differences in the mean square root of total error score, blue-yellow and red-green partial error score between normal control group and central serous retinopathy group and stastically significant differences in all spatial frequency between normal group and central serous retinopathy group. First visit after the absorption of subretinal fluid, and final visit, there were stastically significant differences in the mean square root of total error score, blue-yellow and red-green partial error score between normal control group and central serous retinopathy group and stastically significant differences in mid-high spatial frequency between normal group and central serous retinopathy group.
