Preclinical and clinical evidence support the protective effect of crocin on different pathologic pathways involved in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). They involve inflammation, oxidative stress, mineralocorticoid pathway, and also stress-related injuries. It also showed that crocin has a protective effect on the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) layer. Based on the mentioned evidence the study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2-month crocin supplementation (15 mg/d) in 40 patients with CSCR in a randomized controlled blinded clinical trial.
