577nm Micropulse Laser vs Half-dose Photodynamic Therapy on Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

All treatments were provided by a single practitioner with the 577-nm yellow laser system(Supra 577nm LaserSystem) in 577-MPL arm. The individual power for the patient was titrated at a normal area of near the affected area in micropulse model.The power titration was started at 700 milliwatt(mW) and then gradually increased until a just visible burn was seen. When this threshold was reached, the power was reduced by 50%, using a 100-μm spot diameter and a 200-ms duration with 5 % duty cycle.

5 minutes after the start of the half-dose verteporfin infusion, the PDT treatment will been performed in HD-PDT arm. The treatment is performed with standard fluency (50 J/cm2), a PDT laser wavelength of 689 nm, and a standard treatment duration of 83 seconds.
