Patients with acute and chronic central serous retinopathy (CSR) were studied by psychophysical and photochemical means to establish the extent of visual depression and to investigate the basis of rod dysfunction in this disorder. In acute disease with serous detachment of the retina, the loss of sensitivity attains 3 log units and parallels the height of retinal elevation as does its recovery with resolution of the episode. Immediately after resolution, there is a residual 0.5 log unit threshold elevation. In chronic disease, marked loss of function exists over areas of abnormal retinal pigment epithelium in the absence of clinically detectable serous detachment. Although rhodopsin levels are low in both acute and chronic CSR, this relative lack of visual pigment does not totally account for the functional deficits in either situation.
