central serous retinopathy

[emv28]

hello, i am almost 31 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed at 25 weeks with central serous retinopathy.  i have been seeing a retina specialist here in nyc for the past almost 8 weeks.  some days it seems better, some worse.  i am getting really concerned as to why it has not resolved yet.  does anyone think that this is direclty related to the pregnancy?  do you recommend doing the laser while still pregnant?  do you think i will ever see clearly again?  so frustrated...

Hi,

I went to the eye and ear infirmary here in nyc and was told that my fluid was pretty much dissolved.  My vision is still blurry and I still see the dark spot with a light spot in the middle.  The dr. said that it could be that my light receptors are still misaligned.  Should I be worried and see another dr.?  Could it be something else outside of CSR if the fluid is gone and I am still having vision issues?  I am due to give birth in six weeks.

CSR is related to pregnancy and often resolves spontaneously after the baby is delivered.
