To investigate the 2-year effectiveness of reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy (rf-PDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). Retrospective cohort study. A total of 223 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed cCSC with active serous retinal detachment (SRD) were included from May 2...
