. The visual acuity, central retinal sensitivity, macular thresholds, contrast sensitivity and temporal visual acuity were employed to assess the long term visual outcome in 23 patients with a history of central serous retinopathy (CSR). Twenty patients had unilateral CSR, and 3 had had bilateral disease. The unaffected eyes had significantly better visual acuities ( P <0.014), better retinal sensitivities ( P <0.006) and lower macular thresholds ( P <0.008) when compared with affected eyes. The eyes with CSR whose visual acuities were mildly affected (6/9) showed lower sensitivity for the high spatial frequency ( P <0.0072). There was no significant difference in the temporal visual acuity between eyes with CSR and the non‐affected eyes.
