CSR is a condition where fluid builds up under the retina, leading to central vision distortion. It’s often stress-related and affects adults between 20–50 years old.
Symptoms
Blurry or distorted central vision
Gray or dark spot in vision
Reduced contrast sensitivity
Findings
Subretinal fluid on OCT
Leakage seen on fluorescein angiography
Localized detachment of the macula
Treatments
In acute cases, observation is typically the first approach. For chronic central serous retinopathy (CSR), photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be considered as a treatment option. It’s also important to address underlying factors such as stress or the use of steroids, if relevant.
Outcomes
This condition often resolves on its own within weeks to months; however, some patients may experience recurrent episodes. In chronic cases, it can potentially lead to permanent vision changes.
