About this trial

Patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) will be monitored with laser speckle flow graphy (LSFG), swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and SS-OCT angiography (SS-OCTA). The aim is to unveil the flow and pulse wave characteristics of the choroidal circulation in acute CSC and chronic CSC.
