Official Title
Brinzolamide for the Treatment of Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Brief Summary
Examine the efficacy of brinzolamide for the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy
Detailed Description
Brinzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Previously, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have been shown to be effective for the treatment of macular edema when administered orally, also for central serous chorioretinopathy. However, this treatment carries the risk of severe side effects. The goal of this study is to examine the efficacy of the topical form of treatment of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in patients with chronic, non-resolving, central serous chorioretinopathy.
