Objective: This research work aimed to find out the visual outcome among patients present with acute CSCR (Acute Central Serous Chorio-retinopathy) and to examine the relationship of medical, tomographic & angiographic factors with final outcome of visual acuity in population of our region. Methodology: This research work carried out in General Hospital, Lahore from December 2014 to September 2019. We included total 55 eyes of fifty three patients suffering from acute-CSCR. Ophthalmic examination carried out for all the patients including at baseline SD OCT imaging, 1 month, 3 months and we also performed FFA at baseline. The calculations of initial and final values of BCVA & CFT were the primary outcome measures. We used the SPSS V.20 for the statistical analysis of the collected information. Results: The average age of the population of this study was 36.660 ± 6.240 years. On OCT average CFT at the baseline was 467.490 ± 144.800 μm in eye with infection, whereas average CFT calculations at the last follow-up was 244.670 ± 32.990 μm (p <0.010). Presenting average log-MAR BCVA was 0.470 ± 0.250 & last average log-MAR BCVA was 0.180 ± 0.140 (p <0.010). There was a statistically significant association of the baseline BCVA with the last BCVA (p=0.030). Conclusion: Presenting the visual acuity of 6.0/12.0 or better has association with the auspicious visual outcome among patients suffering from acute-CSCR.
