Know the Symptoms of Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR)

By coreyconsulting

Also known as central serous choroidopathy (CSC), CSR is an eye disease caused by fluid buildup below the retina, resulting in potential visual distortion. This fluid comes from a tissue layer found under the retina which goes by the name of the choroid. CSR typically affect a single eye but there is a possibility of affecting both eyes, as well as recurrence.

Symptoms of CSR include blurred or distorted vision, dark areas in one’s central vision, objects that appear unusually small or far away, or a brownish tinge when looking at a white object. Men in their thirties to fifties are more susceptible to CSR.  Although stress is a common cause of CSR but other conditions such as insomnia, hypertension, and the use of steroids have also been linked to CSR.

CSR is best managed by careful evaluation with proper testing to rule out other related causes of built up subretinal fluid.  Although most CSR may resolve on their own, chronic cases may benefit from medical or even surgical treatment.
