Central serous retinopathy (CSR) laser treatment is a procedure used to treat fluid accumulation under the retina caused by leaky blood vessels. CSR often leads to distorted or blurred central vision, and the laser treatment aims to seal the leaky blood vessels to prevent further fluid leakage and stabilize the retina.
The treatment is performed using a laser to target and treat the affected areas of the retina. By sealing the damaged vessels, the fluid is reabsorbed, and the retina begins to heal. The laser procedure is typically quick and performed in an outpatient setting.
Laser treatment for CSR has been shown to improve vision and reduce the risk of long-term damage caused by fluid buildup. The procedure is effective in stabilizing vision and preventing recurrence in most cases, though some patients may require multiple sessions.
