CSC
I have just been diagnosed with having Central Serous Chorioretinopathy but i am still going to go for a second opinion as the optomotrist could not see any fluid but could not find any other explanation for my "blurry spot" as he said my eyes are both perfectly healthy. I have had this once before and both times i have been under a great amount of stress so i guess this is just the way my body deals with it. My question is this, is there anything i can take/do to help with the recovery of this? I understand it can last anywhere from a few weeks to few months. I have had it for a month but would like to try to get it to go away. I am trying to destress as well to help it. Any other ideas? How common is this?
Not too many treatment options for this. De-stressing is really the only one. Sure...get a second opinion. I wish more people would get second opinions. Go to a retinal specialist.
im actually going to an ophthalmologist as i have only gone to a optomitrist. Should i ask the ophthalmologist if i should see a rental specialist? I guess i should wait and see if he diagnoses me with having the same thing. The only thing that concerns me is that the optomotrist saw no fluid. Dont you need to see fluid to diagnose CSC?
no. you do not need to see fluid to diagnose CSC.
in my opinion, going to a general ophthalmologist who is not a retinal specialist is no different or better than seeing your optometrist. the only person who can likely tell you more than your O.D. did is a retinal specilaist. going to a general-practice ophthalmologist is probably a wasted step.

do i need a referral to see a retnal specialist? how do i find one in my area?
you would only need a referral if your insurance plan requires it before you see a specialist. your optometrist can provide the referral letter. you shouldnt need an official referral letter unless your insurance requires it.
how do you find one? ask your optometrist. he or she should definitely know. they might even already have the retinal specialist's info and can fax over their findings...saving your retinal specialist's time.
prepare to be dilated again at the retinal specialist's office.
