According to the results Ciloğlu et al., CSC is related to elevated total testosterone levels. Testosterone may play a role in predisposing males to CSC. Thus, we aimed to investigate the possible effect of external testosteron intake over choroidal parameters; such as choroidal thickness, choroidal vascularity index, choroidal stromal ve luminal areas,ect.
In the study, we have two group: First group consists of patients with testosteron deficiency and there are sex and age-matched healthy control subjects in the second group. We will measure the parameters of both groups at baseline. And first month and 3rd month we will remeasure the values of the parameters by enhance depth optical coherence tomography. The results will be compared between the groups.
