Review Meta AnalysisCorticosteroids usage and central serous chorioretinopathy: a meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether usage of corticosteroids was associated with an increased risk of central serous chorioretinopathy by summarizing all available evidence. ⋯ In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with the usage of corticosteroids had an increased risk of central serous chorioretinopathy. Patients who were prescribed with corticosteroids need greater attention to their retina health. Also, all central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients should avoid the use of corticosteroids as much as they possibly can.

Appearance of pediatric choroidal neovascular membranes on optical coherence tomography angiography.
Compared with fluorescein angiography (FA), the gold standard for diagnosing choroidal neovascularization (CNV) activity, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is non-invasive without risks associated with fluorescein dye use, and may be especially advantageous in the diagnosis and monitoring of children with CNV. ⋯ OCTA demonstrates morphological differences between active and quiescent pediatric CNV.
