Central serous chorioretinopathy: an update on pathogenesis and treatment
TL;DR: Based on results of trials conducted so far, it appears that photodynamic therapy with verteporfin is effective and safer than argon laser treatment and should be considered as the treatment of choice, whereas micropulse diode laser photocoagulation seems to be an effective alternative.

Long-term follow-up of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy by fluorescein angiography.
TL;DR: The results suggest that ICSC may be a progressive bilateral disease that develops asymmetrically and causes diffuse RPE changes not localized to the area of serous detachment, and long-term follow-up of these patients may, therefore, be advisable.
