Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess sub foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), in acute CSCR patients in both affected and fellow unaffected eye using SS-OCT and to compare them with age matched control group.

This was a hospital based prospective observational study, conducted between July 2018 and May 2019. Total 41 patients and 41 controls from outpatient department were included. . After pupil dilatation, posterior segment evaluation with slit lamp biomicroscopy using a 90D lens and documentation with fundus photograph were done. All subjects were examined using Swept-source (SS) OCT (DRI-OCT, Topcon). OCT was done for both the eyes.

The mean (±SD) age of cases and controls was 38.44±6.14 years and 32.71±4 years, respectively. The mean SFCT of affected and unaffected fellow eye of cases were 465.39±60.02 μm and 407.12±57.29 μm respectively, (P <0.001). The mean SFCT of affected eyes of cases and control group eyes were 465.39±60.02 μm and 267.5±34.40 μm respectively, (P <0.001)
