Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
(CSCR)

Overview

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a problem that affects the macula (central portion of the retina). The exact cause is not understood. CSCR occurs when a small break forms in the pigment layer of the retina. Fluid from the layer of blood vessels that lie underneath the retina seeps up through the break, causing a small detachment to form under the retina.

This problem is somewhat similar to a water blister that forms on the skin. The process is similar to CSCR: fluid collects beneath the skin's surface, causing the layers of skin to separate.

CSCR affects men more often then women and usually occurs between the ages of 25 and 50. Stress is thought to be linked to this problem. CSCR typically resolves spontaneously, but it can recur. In some cases, it may lead to moderate but permanent loss of central vision.


Signs and Symptoms

  • Blurred central vision

  • Wavy, distorted vision

  • Central blind spot


Detection and Diagnosis

Usually the doctor can diagnose CSCR with an exam of the retina using ophthalmoscopy. In most cases fluorescein angiography is used to gather additional information about the extent and severity of the problem.

Treatment

Most patients with CSCR do not require treatment. The fluid usually absorbs gradually over a period of months. Occasionally, steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops are prescribed. In cases where visual recovery is delayed, laser treatment may be required to seal the leak and help the vision improve.

Hey Guess what?


You can now buy my book Evil Angel at Target online! That's pretty good. It's easy to do too. Remember though that this is an ADULT book, so kids keep out. Sorrow's Field is suitable for young people and so is a lot of my other work. To get my book go here: Target Online


I just don't know about Bilary -- She seems harsh and limited although she is a strong woman. I seem to feel she's out to prove that she can be as tough as a man. I don't think President is strictly a man's job so she doesn't need to prove to ME. What makes women special is that they are willing to negotiate and are willing to take a new approach to problems. What makes men special is that they are willing to fight and have a better idea of the whole picture. NOW look these are just my opinions so don't damn write to me complaining about this. You believe what you want and I'll believe what I want. Fair is fair.

The dogs are so cute. When being walked of course Faline is faster -- she has longer legs. She waits for Zippy though, since he is elderly and slow at 13 years. She is a smart little girl of not quite two years. I need to spend more time training her in the basics.

I am working on the Stumpy and Erle book. I'm working on the chapter called Forsaken. It's sad to me but it has to happen in the story. Stay tuned.
