Effects of half-dose photodynamic therapy on chronic central serous chorioretinopathy with or without macular neovascularization assessed using optical coherence tomography angiography

Purpose: To assess the effects of half-dose photodynamic therapy on subretinal fluid and macular neovascularization (MNV) using optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. Methods: Clinical information on 168 patients (168 eyes) with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy obtained before and 6 months after treatment with half-dose photodynamic therapy was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into a success (145 eyes) or failure (23 eyes) group based on the absence or presence of subretinal fluid, respectively, and clinical data were compared between them. Macular neovascularization was studied in 147 cases with available optical coherence tomography angiography images. P
