Introduction
- Acute CSCR often follows a self-limiting course, with spontaneous reabsorption of subretinal fluid within approximately three to six months. Patients are monitored for resolution or progression, and are encouraged to self-monitor their visual symptoms at home.
- When subretinal fluid persists for longer than 6 months, it is considered chronic CSCR, for which various treatment modalities are utilized. The management of chronic CSCR is a topic of ongoing debate, aimed at complete resolution of the serous retinal detachment and underlying subretinal fluid to prevent vision loss.
- In cases of inactive CSCR, patients are monitored regularly for recurrence due to the potential for further damage to the already weakened photoreceptors.
