Abstract: To investigate biomarkers related to visual symptom and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement after photodynamic therapy (PDT) for central serous chorioretinopathy. This retrospective cross-sectional study involved 42 consecutive eyes, from 42 patients who underwent successful PDT, divided into two groups according to improvement in subjective visual complaints: complete (20 eyes) and incomplete recovery (22 eyes). The clinical characteristics of each group, including central foveal thickness (CFT), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and degree of change in signal voiding of the choriocapillaris on optical coherence tomography angiography, were compared. Correlations between best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and baseline clinical features were investigated. At baseline, CFT and FAZ areas showed significant differences between the two groups (all p
