Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Eye Patching as a Potential Treatment Modality for and a Possible Etiological Insight on Central Serous Retinopathy
First, this study will investigate the viability of 24-hour eye patching as a potential treatment modality for CSR. Second, this study will assess a potential physiologic explanation for CSR, namely if inhibition of photic stimulation of the diseased retina will aid in ameliorating disease severity and disease duration.
