Abstract: Objective To analyze sleep quality in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Design Questionnaire survey. Participants Twenty one patients with CSC and 21 normal control subjects.  Methods Twenty one patients with CSC and 21 normal control groups were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). All subjects were requested to fill out the PSQI questionnaire by themselves. Main Outcome Measures PSQI Global score and component score. Results The PSQI Global score in patients with CSC (8.76±5.07) was higher as compared to normal control subjects (3.57±1.72) (P=0.000). Sleep quality component score in patients with CSC (1.67±0.86) was higher than in normal control subjects (0.71±0.64) (P=0.000). Sleep efficiency component score in patients with CSC (0.86±1.15) was higher than in the normal control group (0.19±0.40) (P=0.019). Conclusions Patients with CSC had sleep disorders. A relationship between CSC and sleep disorders might exist. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2013, 22: 124-126)
