How can you tell if you might have CSCR? Common symptoms include
Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR/CSR) is an eye condition where fluid leaks from a layer of blood vessels under the retina (the choroid) and accumulates beneath the retina or the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This buildup creates a small detachment in the retina, leading to blurry or distorted vision.
While CSCR typically affects only one eye at a time, in some cases, both eyes may be involved simultaneously.
How can you tell if you might have CSCR? Common symptoms include
Men
(More common in men
aged 20 - 50)
People under stress
(Linked to
high stress levels)
Steroid
users (Including oral, nasal
and
topical steroids)
People with sleep issues (Poor sleep or irregular sleep patterns)
Individuals with high blood pressure
OCT Scan (Optical Coherence Tomography)
– to check fluid under the retina
Fluorescein Angiography
– to assess leakage from blood vessels
Indocyanine Green Angiography
– for detailed choroidal imaging
Many cases heal naturally within 2 - 3 months
Some patients may benefit from
oral medication to
speed up recovery
Used for chronic or severe cases to reduce fluid leakage
Try relaxation techniques like meditation or exercise regularly
Only take steroids when necessary
Maintain a regular sleep schedule
Monitor and manage hypertension
