Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed with central serous chorioretinopathy. What can I do to improve or cure or prevent reoccurrence? In terms of food, medicines, habits, etc.
Hello. Central serous retinopathy is a multifactorial disease. A few modifiable causes of CSR are: 1. Type A personality- a rolling stone, always on the move and stressed out person. 2. Steroid use- can be anything from prescription drugs to herbal medication know to reduce asthma. 3. Hypertension and heart disease. 4. Other medication such as stimulators and adrenergic drugs. So, please try to relax more (although easier said than, try your best). Stop any steroid medication, if you are using prescription steroid then ask your doctors to change the drugs. Get hypertension and heart problems examined and treated. In case you have any more specific questions or if you need any further information, please send me a scanned copy of your doctors reports and tests (OCT macula), I will do my best to help you.
