Central Serous Retinopathy

Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC or CSCR), is an eye disease that causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye.  When the disorder is active it is characterized by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula.  This results in blurred or distorted vision (metamorphopsia).  A blurred or gray spot in the central visual field is common when the retina is detached.  Reduced visual acuity may persist after the fluid has disappeared.
