Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and analyze the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and CSC. Methods A total of 109 patients diagnosed with CSC (CSC group) at our ophthalmology clinic from February 2017 to February 2021 were included, with 103 volunteers from our hospital's health examination center serving as the control group. Additionally, the new multimodal imaging classification of 109 CSC patients was further divided into simple CSC (57 cases) and complex CSC (52 cases). Demographic data, underlying diseases, medical history, and medication history were collected. Levels of VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR were measured, and multifactorial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing CSC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to assess the diagnostic value of VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR in CSC. Results The CSC group showed a higher proportion of males, smoking history, alcohol consumption, comorbid obstructive sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, renal disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, steroid use, and shift work compared to the control group (P < 0.05). VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR levels were significantly higher in the CSC group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The levels of VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR in the complex CSC group were higher than those in the simple CSC group (P < 0.05). Male gender, shift work, Helicobacter pylori infection, hypothyroidism, elevated VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR were identified as risk factors for CSC (P < 0.05). The combined diagnostic value of VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR (area under the ROC curve: 0.886) was higher than that of individual markers (0.722, 0.728, and 0.703, respectively) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Male gender, shift work, Helicobacter pylori infection, hypothyroidism, and elevated levels of VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR are risk factors for CSC. The combined use of VEGF, hs-CRP, and ESR demonstrates higher diagnostic efficiency in identifying CSC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR) manifests as fluid accumulation between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Elevated levels of steroid hormones have been implicated in CSCR pathogenesis. This investigation aims to delineate the gene expression patterns of CSCR-associated risk and steroid receptors across human choroidal cell types and RPE cells to discern potential underlying mechanisms. METHODS This study utilized a comprehensive query of transcriptomic data derived from non-pathological human choroid and RPE cells. FINDINGS CSCR-associated genes such as PTPRB, CFH, and others are predominantly expressed in the choroidal endothelium as opposed to the RPE. The androgen receptor, encoded by the AR gene, demonstrates heightened expression in the macular endothelium compared to peripheral regions, unlike other steroid receptor genes. AR-expressing endothelial cells display an augmented responsiveness to Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), indicating a propensity towards endothelial to mesenchymal transition (endMT) transcriptional profiling. INTERPRETATION These results highlight the proclivity of CSCR to manifest primarily within the choroidal vasculature rather than the RPE, suggesting its categorization as a vascular eye disorder. This study accentuates the pivotal role of androgenic steroids, in addition to glucocorticoids. The observed linkage to TGF-β-mediated endMT provides a potential mechanistic insight into the disease's etiology.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the efficacy of two power levels in the 577 nm sub-threshold micro pulse laser (SML) treatment of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (aCSC). METHODS A retrospective comparative study was conducted. A total of 65 patients (65 eyes) with aCSC were enrolled. Of which, 32 patients received low power treatment and 33 patients received high power treatment of 577 nm SML. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), fundus-monitored microperimetry and height of subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) as well as subretinal fluid (SRF) were evaluated at baseline and 3 months. RESULTS The height of SFCT and retinal sensitivity in the low power treatment group was significantly better than that in the high power treatment group at 4 weeks (all p < 0.001). Mean BCVA improved from baseline to 3 months after treatments but with no significant difference between the two groups after 3 months (p > 0.05). In the low power group, the CMT decreased from 379.76 ± 139.23 μm at baseline to 176.56 ± 37.78 μm at 3 months, and in the high power group, the CMT decreased from 364.97 ± 143.08 at baseline to 191.77 ± 38.26 μm at 3 months. There was no significant difference at 3 months between the two groups (p > 0.05). Similar results were also found in term of SRF. CONCLUSIONS Timely intervention with 577 nm SML with low power treatment can improve visual acuity, and included anatomic success without adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is characterized by serous detachment of the central neurosensory retina and it is one of the most common retinal disorders. Various genetic polymorphisms have been associated with CSCR development. METHODS The aim of our study was to investigate the potential association between ARMS2 (rs10490924) and NR3C2 (rs2070951 and rs5522) genes polymorphisms and CSCR development in a well defined Greek cohort for the first time in literature. We enrolled, in our case-control study, 48 CSCR patients and 137 controls. The ARMS2 (rs10490924) and NR3C2 (rs2070951 and rs5522) genes polymorphisms were analyzed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays. RESULTS In our study, we found significant associations between ARMS2rs10490924 and NR3C2rs2070951 single nucleotide polymorphisms and CSCR development. Specifically, the GTrs10490924 genotype frequency of the ARMS2 gene was found to be significantly associated with risk of CSCR and T allele of rs10490924ARMS2 gene was also found to increase risk for CSCR. The genotype frequency GC and CC of rs2070951NR3C2 gene were observed more frequently in CSCR patients than controls and C allele of rs2070951NR3C2 gene was also observed more frequently in CSCR patients than controls. Rs5522 of NR3C2 gene polymorphism was not found to be significantly associated with CSCR. CONCLUSION Our findings showed, for the first time in a Greek population, that SNPs in the ARMS2 and NR3C2 genes are significantly associated with risk of CSCR. The results of this study support the involvement of extracellular matrix (ARMS2 gene) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the pathogenesis of CSCR.

Abstract
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) has remained an enigmatic disease since its initial description by Von Graefe. Over the years, multiple risk factors have been recognized: these include psychological stress, behavioral traits, and corticosteroids. The basic pathophysiology of CSC involves choroidal thickening, vascular congestion, altered choroidal blood flow (ChBF), and choroidal hyperpermeability, leading to retinal pigment epithelium decompensation and subsequent neurosensory detachment. Multiple organ systems, mainly the nervous, cardiovascular, endocrinal, and renal systems participate in the control of the vascular tone and the ChBF via hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, while others such as the hepatic system regulate the enzymatic degradation of corticosteroids. Many vasoactive and psychotropic drugs also modulate the ocular perfusion. In addition, there are anatomical and genetic predispositions that determine its progression to the chronic or recurrent form, through cellular response and angiogenesis. We herein review the basic pathophysiology and immunogenetics in CSC along with the role of multiple organ systems. With this background, we propose an etiological classification that should provide a framework for customized therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
We present a patient with concurrent pigmentary glaucoma, bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy and unilateral optic disc pit, and propose a possible association of these conditions. Comprehensive ophthalmic examination of a 36-year-old man who was complaining of blurry vision and pain in the eyes showed reduced visual acuity on the left eye, elevated intraocular pressure in the right eye, bilateral signs of pigment dispersion syndrome, and bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy, combined with optic disc pit in the left eye. Visual field and optical coherence tomography findings demonstrated functional and structural glaucoma changes. Choroidal circulation abnormalities were observed by angiographic methods. Genetic and developmental anomalies of the external layer of the optic disc cup that gives rise to many anterior and posterior eye segment structures suggest a possible association of a clinical condition characterized by the combination of pigmentary glaucoma, central serous chorioretinopathy and optic disc pit. Future research would enable to determine proper diagnostic protocols, treatment and follow-up procedures for this chronic-progressive disorder.

Abstract
(1) The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics and multimodal imaging findings of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) between women and men. (2) Women and men with CSCR were compared in terms of their age and risk factors, the clinical form of their disease, multimodal imaging findings and the presence of macular neovascularization (MNV) on optical coherence tomography (OCT)-angiography. (3) Results: The data of 75 women and 75 men were compared. The women were significantly older than the men (52.2 years versus 45.7 years; p < 0.001). Corticosteroid intake was more frequent in the women (56% versus 40%; p = 0.05). The women had a single foveal subretinal detachment more often than the men (73.3% versus 46.9%; p < 0.001) and they often had fewer gravitational tracks (16.3% versus 29.6%; p = 0.03). On mid-phase indocyanine green angiography, hyperfluorescent plaques were detected less often in the women than in the men (48% versus 72.2%, p = 0.001). MNV was detected on OCT-angiography in 35.9% of the women and in 13.3% of the men (p = 0.004). (4) In the women, CSCR occurs at an older age, is more often unifocal foveolar, and is associated with a higher rate of MNV. The reasons for these gender-related differences remain to be determined.

Abstract
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a chorioretinal disease that usually affects the middle-aged population and is characterised by a thickened choroid, retinal pigment epithelium detachment, and subretinal fluid with a tendency towards spontaneous resolution. We investigated 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 50 Slovenian acute CSC patients and 71 healthy controls in Complement Factor H (CFH), Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 2 (NR3C2), Cadherin 5 (CDH5) Age-Related Maculopathy Susceptibility 2 (ARMS2), TNF Receptor Superfamily Member 10a (TNFRSF10A), collagen IV alpha 3 (COL4A3) and collagen IV alpha 4 (COL4A4) genes using high-resolution melt analysis. Statistical calculations revealed significant differences in genotype frequencies for CFH rs1329428 (p = 0.042) between investigated groups and an increased risk for CSC in patients with TC (p = 0.040) and TT (p = 0.034) genotype. Genotype–phenotype correlation analysis revealed that CSC patients with CC genotype in CFH rs3753394 showed a higher tendency for spontaneous CSC episode resolution at 3 months from the disease onset (p = 0.0078), which could indicate clinical significance of SNP testing in CSC patients. Bioinformatics analysis of the non-coding polymorphisms showed alterations in transcription factor binding motifs for CFH rs3753394, CDH5 rs7499886 and TNFRSF10A rs13278062. No association of collagen IV polymorphisms with CSC was found in this study.
