Medical- Central Serous Retinopathy

Central Serous Retinopathy
 


1.       Diagnosis

Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), is an eye disease which causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye[1][2] 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.[1]

The disease is considered idiopathic but mostly affects white males in the age group 20 to 50 but occasionally other groups. The condition is believed to be exacerbated by stress or corticosteroid use.

 
 

2.       Causes
 

CSR is a fluid detachment of macula layers from their supporting tissue. This allows choroidal fluid to leak into the subretinal space. The build-up of fluid seems to occur because of small breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium.


CSR is sometimes called idiopathic CSR which means that its cause is unknown. Nevertheless, stress appears to play an important role. An oft-cited but potentially inaccurate conclusion is that persons in stressful occupations, such as airplane pilots, have a higher incidence of CSR.

 
3.       Treatment:

 

Differential diagnosis should be immediately performed to rule out retinal detachment, which is a medical emergency. Additionally, a clinical record should be taken to keep a timeline of the detachment.

 

Most eyes with CSR undergo spontaneous resorption of subretinal fluid within 3-4 months, recovery of visual acuity usually follows. Any ongoing corticosteroid treatment should be tapered and stopped, where possible. It is important to check current medication, including nasal sprays and creams, for ingredients of corticosteroids, if found seek advice from a medical practitioner for an alternative.

 Patients sometimes present with an obvious history of psychosocial stress, in which case counselling and expectancy is relevant.

 Treatment should be considered if it does not disappear within 3-4 months, spontaneously or as the result of counselling.

 

·         To facilitate the fast recovery of the eye: resorption of subretinal fluid!

It is key factor to improve basic function of the liver and gas·tro·intest·inal function of body.

As the  gas·tro·intest·inal function can digest food and function of the liver which is processing

the blood and energy and helps to clean the toxin and stress out of body.

To improve the gas·tro·intest·inal function and key function of liver, after eating food, we should

take 10-15 minutes stretching exercise  or walking.

Fast recovery of the eye will ensure the recovery of visual acuity  follows!

                    For the recovery of essential feature of eye;

 

                3 Eye exercises to improve your vision

1) Figure of eight

- Imagine a giant figure of eight in front of you about 10 feet in front of you. Now turn the 8 on it’s side. Now trace the figure of eight with your eyes, slowly. Do it one way for

a few minutes and then do it the other way for a few minutes.
 

2) Near and far focussing

- Put your thumb about 10 inches in front of you and focus on it.

- Now focus on something else about 10 – 20 feet in front of you.

-This will strengthen the muscles in your eyes over time and improve

  your vision overall
 

3) Zooming
- Stretch out your arm with your thumb in the hitchhike position
- Focus on your thumb as your arm is outstretched.

- Now bring your thumb closer to you, focussing all the time, until your thumb is about 3 inches in front of your face.

Eye exercises to improve your vision

         Laser photocoagulation,

         1) Laser photocoagulation can permanently damage vision where applied.

         2) laser photocoagulation is not a preferred treatment for leaks in the central

         vision

         3) It is considered an outdated (old) treatment by some doctors.

         4) Laser photocoagulation should not be considered as Laser photocoagulation

           is very dangerous for vision and This disease can re-occur if the patience's

general health is not improving.
