Hi I've had chronic csr for 11years now and have had numerous treatments of photo dynamic therapy without it I believe my vision would be worse. I am now registered partially sighted because of the condition. The treatment itself is fine and nothing to worry about. Regards Mandy

Thanks for your reply you are right I don't think any treatments brings back our vision 100% I am just afraid that the treatment might make it worse thanks Mandy I guess I got nothing to do but move on with the treatment

Do you have CSR in both eyes? How bad is it? I have had it for many years in my left eye. Some days the vision is worse than others as the leakage fluctuates. My retina specialist does not want to do PDT unless it is worsening as there are some risks.
