    Central serous retinopathy CSR

    I've just been diagnosed with this after 7 months of tests and misdiagnosis and want to hear from anyone who has it and who has had treatment, either the NHS laser treatment, the Photodynamic Therapy (which I am not sure is even available in the UK0, or the Avastin.injections, which is not on the NHS.  Also from anyone who has had it where it cleared up on its own, as mine shows absolutely no sign of leaving. 

    CSR causes grey patches in the vision and make lines and edges appear to have curves in them, but as mine is in the vision just out side of the centre it induces you to try and look at the patch, which of course moves as you look and I think I've had a headache since last September due to the distortion.  It's a real nightmare walking down stairs and the like, bits of the stairs appear missing and I've nearly fallen a few times by misjudging things, also working with spreadsheets all day is dreadful as the lines are jumping about and blurred.  I've looked in to the injections at £1100 per injection, but with no guarantees and the likelihood of needing 3 injections its not a decision I can afford to take lightly.

    I look forward to any comments. e
