New options for an old disease: Treatment of CSC

In this episode, I am joined by my fellow Vision Academy member Professor Sobha Sivaprasad, Professor of Retinal Clinical Studies at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Consultant Ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital in the United Kingdom. Join us as we discuss key aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). In this episode, we summarize published evidence for the treatment of CSC, and use the guidance developed by the Vision Academy to discuss practical disease management and treatment of phenotypic variations. We also dive into cases we have treated in our own clinics, and explore how access to treatment can vary between clinics and countries. To learn more about the diagnosis and treatment of CSC, read the Vision Academy Viewpoint and publication.
