Summary: qAF was correlated with SD-OCT detectable features in CSC patients, while NIR-AF images were helpful in detecting lesions. Elevated qAF levels were associated with specific CSC-related abnormalities, indicating a potential role in disease progression.

Summary: This study developed a deep learning system model to distinguish subtypes of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The model showed high accuracy in classifying CSC subtypes, indicating the potential usefulness of automated deep learning systems in the classification and management of CSC.

Summary: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a contentious disease involving various eye structures, with multiple therapeutic options available. Imaging plays a crucial role in evaluating and guiding treatment, while biomarkers serve as diagnostic and prognostic reference points.

Summary: The study aimed to differentiate acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) subtypes by using multimodal imaging. Two main subtypes, retinal pigment epithelium-related CSC (RPE-CSC) and choroidal-related CSC (choroidal-CSC), were identified based on quantitative pachychoroid cutoff values, showing differing responses to treatment and development of macular neovascularization (MNV).

Summary: The specific form of drusen, known as pachydrusen, is associated with pachychoroid eye diseases, such as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). This study found that pachydrusen are more prevalent in PCV than CSC and may be linked to age and more extensive abnormalities in fundus autofluorescence (FAF).

Summary: This study observed the clinical features and prognosis of CSC patients with CNV, finding that CNV detection occurred earlier than previously reported, but there was no rapid deterioration of visual acuity or clinical features during the follow-up period.

Summary: This study investigated the factors influencing the clinical outcome of SRT for CSC, finding that the rate of change in CMT was associated with focal leakage type on FA and baseline CMT, while complete resolution of subretinal fluid was associated with non-smoking history and focal leakage type on FA. These findings may help predict the therapeutic effectiveness of SRT.

Summary: Through multimodal imaging, this study investigated the morphological changes in the retinal and choroidal layers of patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The findings showed significant alterations and reductions in vascular density and retinal sensitivity, as well as increased choriocapillaris porosity in RP eyes. The study also found a close association between the inner retinal layers and the functional integrity of the posterior pole, and vascular involvement contributing to macular region deterioration in RP.

Summary: This study aims to assess the correlation between findings on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) patients. The discrepancy between FAF and FA was measured and compared, and a relationship between the discrepancy and disease characteristics was found. The study suggests that baseline FAF and follow-up duration can predict long-term changes in cCSC.

Summary: The aim of our study was to investigate the clinical features of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) using autofluorescence (AF), retromode (RM), and enface imaging. We conducted a retrospective study at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS, Rome (Italy) from September to December 2022. Patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, including OCT, enface image analysis, AF, and RM imaging. The study found that RM imaging showed high specificity and negative predictive value in detecting RPE changes in CSC compared to the AF standard-of-care technique.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of SLO retromode imaging compared to FAF in identifying outer retinal features in CSCR patients. The results showed that SLO retromode imaging had higher sensitivity than FAF in detecting SRF and RPE dystrophy, but it couldn't provide qualitative information about lesion depth and RPE cell health status.

Summary: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a macular disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. While some cases are self-limiting, patients may suffer from permanent visual loss, and multimodal imaging techniques have advanced the diagnosis and classification of CSCR.

Summary: This study found that low-contrast visual acuity is significantly affected after reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy in patients with resolved central serous chorioretinopathy and good baseline visual acuity. Affected eyes had significantly worse low-contrast visual acuity compared to fellow eyes, and symptom duration may play a role in affecting low-contrast visual acuity post-treatment.

Summary: The study developed a cascaded deep learning system based on fundus image for automated SRF detection and macula-on/off serous retinal detachment discerning. The system's performance is reliable, with higher accuracy of SRF detection than experienced retinal specialists, and it can automatically indicate whether SRF progression involves the macula to provide urgent guidance for patients.
