What is central serous retinopathy?

Sometimes it is called central serious chorioretinopathy or CSc, central serous retinopathy is a condition in which the fluid escapes from the central macula of the eye. As a result of macular fluid leakage, central vision in the eye is somewhat blurred, leading to temporary loss of vision. Although this condition is more common in men, there are reported cases of women. Fortunately, many people experience partial or complete recovery from this condition within six months, although some experience a permanent decrease in the quality of night vision or the ability to distinguish a certain color.

There is no generally accepted reason why central serous retinopathy or CSR occurs. One thought school claims that the flow of fluid from the central macula is caused by prolonged periods of stress. This would include people who work on professions where the average level of stress is high on most of the working day. As the stress is to handle the better effect or is minimized, the leak recedes and the eye begins to heal.

others believe thatE CSR can be triggered by using corticosteroids. This is due to findings in some research that show that a significant number of people diagnosed with central serous retinopathy use corticosteroids to treat various skin conditions or allergies. It seems that people who naturally produce higher levels of cortisone are also exposed to a higher risk of CSR at some point in their lives.

It is difficult to determine how widespread the occurrence of central serous retinopathy is in reality. People who wear correctional lenses may notice some blur, but to attribute them to a gradual deterioration of the retina of their vision and think that time has come to a new regulation of vision. With others, a change in the quality of vision is so gradual that people do not notice for some time. Although the eye problem is finally recorded, most people are not looking for a retinal specialist, provided they just have to start wearing a correction lensy some type.

There is no known cure for central serous retinopathy. In serious cases, healthcare professionals can recommend using laser photocoagulation. The procedure of this type uses laser technology to repair the crack, allowing leakage. However, this procedure is not without the degree of risk, as it may leave a permanent blind place where the crack has been sealed. Photocoagulation for the treatment of central serous retinopathy is generally recommended if the CSR does not appear for several months.
