Central Serous Choroidopathy

Overview & Our Approach to Central Serous Choroidopathy

Central Serous Choroidopathy (CSC), also known as Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR or CSCR), is an eye condition that primarily affects young men between the ages of 20 and 50. The condition is characterized by the accumulation of fluid beneath the retina, particularly in the central macula area, causing a detachment of the macula from the underlying tissue. This detachment can lead to a range of visual disturbances, including blurry vision, dimmed colors, and the perception of smaller images or a central blind spot.
CSC often arises suddenly, and while it can resolve on its own, the condition can also persist or recur, potentially leading to more significant and lasting vision problems. The root cause of CSC involves fluid leakage from the fine capillaries in the choroid layer, likely due to small breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Advances in imaging technology have shed light on factors such as choroidal hyperpermeability and vascular compromise, which may contribute to the condition.

Our approach to managing CSC goes beyond conventional treatment methods, aiming to address both the symptoms and underlying causes:

  • Reducing Choroidal Vascular Compromise: We utilize acupuncture, supplements, and advanced therapeutic devices to support vascular health in the choroid layer, helping to reduce fluid leakage and improve retinal stability.
  • Preserving Macular Function: Our treatments focus on managing the underlying factors contributing to macular detachment, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular health, to preserve and enhance central vision
  • Telehealth & In-Office Treatments: Intensive, personalized treatments in our New Jersey office for the fastest and most effective results.
  • At-Home Care with ACS3000: Our ACS3000 system supports retinal health with convenient at-home treatments, complementing in-office care.
  • Targeted Supplements: We provide specialized and targeted supplements designed to support eye health, combat vascular compromise, and maintain retinal integrity.

Symptoms & Causes of Central Serous Choroidopathy

Central Serous Choroidopathy

Symptoms of Central Serous Choroidopathy:

  • Blurry Vision: A sudden onset of blurry vision in one eye is one of the most common symptoms, often accompanied by difficulty focusing.

  • Dimmed Colors: Patients may notice that colors appear less vibrant or dimmer, particularly in the affected eye.

  • Micropsia: Objects may appear smaller than they are, a condition known as micropsia, due to the distortion of the retina.

  • Central Scotoma: A blind spot may develop in the central vision, making it difficult to see fine details or read.

  • Distorted Vision: Straight lines may appear wavy or distorted, further affecting visual clarity.

Causes of Central Serous Choroidopathy:
  • Choroidal Vascular Compromise: CSC is believed to stem from poor choroidal vascular health, where hyperpermeability and focal vascular compromise lead to fluid leakage beneath the retina.

  • Breaks in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE): Small breaks or dysfunctions in the RPE layer allow fluid from the choroid to accumulate under the retina, causing macular detachment.

  • Oxidative Stress and Inflammation: Chronic oxidative stress and inflammation may contribute to vascular dysfunction, further exacerbating fluid leakage and retinal detachment.

  • Stress and Hormonal Factors: Psychological stress and elevated cortisol levels have been linked to the onset and recurrence of CSC, as they may influence choroidal blood flow and permeability.

  • Genetic and Environmental Factors: A genetic predisposition to CSC, combined with environmental triggers such as stress, smoking, and certain medications, can increase the risk of developing the condition.
