Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) is a condition where fluid builds up under the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye. This fluid accumulation can cause a small, round, shallow swelling known as a serous detachment. CSR primarily affects the macula, which is responsible for central vision.
Some people will not experience any symptoms while others may start to notice:
Fluid builds up behind the central part of the retina, causing a retinal detachment in the area. This is more common in men age 30-50. This condition may resolve on its own, without medical treatment, if the fluid drains on its own.
Proper diagnosis involves a few specialized tests to confirm the presence and extent of CSR.
While many individuals recover good vision without treatment, some may experience recurrent episodes or permanent vision loss. Regular follow-up with an eye specialist is crucial to monitor the condition and manage any potential complications.
