CSR from steroid shot

[67chevelle]

Hi, I'm a 56 yr old female that was diagnosed with CSR 2 yrs ago. Vision went from 20/60 to 20/25. Today it is 20/50. Scans never show fluid but vision is like looking through plexiglass always. I had a steroid shot for my shoulder and 2 months later in an eye exam they saw the CSR but took no picture. I was referred to a retina specialist and by the time I went in (5 months later) the CSR was gone. Now 1 year later vision is worse. Just looking for some advice on what to do. This is frustrating and scary.

Hi, I would ask gp for referral to eye specialist at the hospital. Best wishes going forward x

Hi 67Chevelle,

Central serous retinopathy (CSR) affects the central area of your retina; the macular. CSR can cause your vision to be blurry and distorted due to fluid collecting underneath your macular. Objects often appear smaller and distorted in the affected eye.

In most people, CSR gets better on its own and doesn’t cause long-term changes to vision. In some people it may re-occur. The more times someone has CSR, the higher the chance of having some permanent changes in your vision.

I tend to agree with eyesright, that you should get checked by an eye-care professional. Preferably a hospital retinal ophthalmologist.

Best wishes
