I had a sudden poor visible vision on my left eye noticed recently and quite worried there is something going wrong. Then I visited the doctor (Hospital Pantai) and he told me I had CSR (Central Serous Retinopathy). What the hell it that???? Luckily he told me that nothing is serious (that's sound better), but it would take months to recover.
So what is CSR???? This is the info from the Internet. I think the cause is working too hard, stress and hectic time during CNY (Chinese new year). Maybe I should be more relax or try to take thing more easy.
What is CSR?
CSR is a condition which causes temporary or permanent impairment of vision. The symptoms are loss of sensitivity in dim light, usually in an oval shaped gray or brown area, blurring or distortion of the visual image. It is a result of the detachment of most of the layers of the retina (the back of the eye) from its supporting tissue as a result of the buildup of fluid. The buildup of fluid appears to be due to one or more small breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium.
Outcomes
Usually the fluid build up disappears after a few weeks to a few months with little long term damage. During this time the condition often fluctuates wildly on a daily or hourly basis. It particularly gets worse when under stress, tired or ill.
Standard Treatment
There is no effective clinical treatment for the condition.
Stress and CSR
CSR is associated with stress. Individuals who report being under stress and people who are in objectively stressful occupations such as airline piloting are susceptible to CSR. Stress includes pain, infection, excessive heat and cold, low blood sugar, excessive exercise, hunger and crash diets, jet lag, lack of sleep, psychological stress and also very intensive exercise.
