Glossary Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

fluid buildup under retina causing visual distortion

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) is an eye condition where fluid builds up under the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, causing visual distortion and blurred vision. This fluid accumulation is often due to a leak in the choroid, a layer of blood vessels behind the retina, and is commonly associated with stress and corticosteroid use.
