Short-Term Outcomes of Cataract Surgery in Patients with a History of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Figure 2

Fluorescein angiography (a) and optical coherence tomography (b–h) images of a 44-year-old patient. Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) was first diagnosed 73 months before the cataract surgery (a, b). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.5. Four months after the diagnosis of CSC, subretinal fluid (SRF) spontaneously resolved without treatment (c). Six months later (d), SRF recurred, and the patient was treated with focal laser photocoagulation. The SRF completely resolved 1 month after treatment (e). The macula remained dry until 1 month before cataract surgery (61 months after the diagnosis of CSC) (f). The BCVA was 0.4 at this time. One month after the surgery, recurrence of CSC was noted and the BCVA was measured as 0.7 (g), but it spontaneously resolved after 2 months with the improvement of BCVA to 0.8 (h).
