Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) is also known as central serous chorioretinopathy. This condition can cause objects to look smaller in one eye, mild central visual blur, color distortions, and changes in glasses prescription. This condition is most commonly described in middle aged males, but newer studies suggest the gender difference is decreasing. The condition is associated with exogenous steroid use, anxiety and Type A personalities.

Most often this condition is self limited, and resolves within 6 months with little to no permanent visual damage. However, there are instances where the condition persists, recurs, or leaves permanent visual changes. Treatment options are tailored to the individual and can include observation, laser and medication.
