Summary:
On a group of 13 eyes the authors evaluate their experience with medicamentous
treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy. For treatment they used the nonselective
beta-blocker Trimepranol, 2x5mg/day. They found that in 11 eyes, in
84.6 % cases, adherence of the ablated neuroepithelium of the macula occurred
latest within four months of treatment, in two eyes (15.4 %) this therapeutic dose
did not lead to remission of the disease even after four months of treatment and
the condition was evaluated as failure of treatment. The authors conclude that
a therapeutic dose of Trimepranol of 2x5mg/day is not a reliable therapeutic
solution of central serous chorioretinopathy.
