One-year Clinical Outcome of Topical Bromfenac in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

초록

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of topical bromfenac in treating central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) over a 1-year period. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 57 patients (57 eyes) with CSC followed for > 1 year. Patients were divided into two groups: those treated with bromfenac eye drops twice daily (29 eyes) and a control group (28 eyes). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and subretinal fluid (SRF) height were measured and compared between the two groups as was the proportion of chronic cases. Results: Significant improvements in CMT and SRF height were noted in both groups over the follow-up period. The bromfenac group demonstrated significantly lower CMT at 6, 9, and 12 months ( p = 0.045, 0.042, and 0.023, respectively) and lower SRF height ( p = 0.037, 0.048, and 0.046, respectively) compared to the control group. The proportion of chronic cases was significantly lower in the bromfenac group (17.2%) compared to the control group (42.9%, p = 0.035). Conclusions: Topical bromfenac reduced the rate of progression to chronic CSC and showed significant anatomical improvements after 6 months, suggesting its potential as an effective treatment option.
