what is central serous retinopathy?


Central serous retinopathy (or CSR") is a condition where a clear blister of fluid develops underneath the central retina. Patients complain of a loss of central and colour vision...and might notice that their prescription becomes less nearsighted.
Typically...CSR develops in young (20's) males...who are stressed or have "Type A" personalities. Most episodes resolves slowly on their own (average time about 4 months)...but if prolonged...laser treatment might be necessary.
