I have a similar problem. In my case, it is caused by an epiretinal membrane (ERM) which can both distort images and alter image size. Do a google search for an Amsler grid, and test your vision for distortion -- your mention of a curved image suggests a distortion that can be documented with this simple at-home test. I suggest a consultation with a retinal specialist. They should do an OCT and a visual field test. Although my ERM is mild with minimal distortion, my image size difference is measured at 13%. My surgeon described it so: "Your rods and cones should stand straight like a windless wheat-field, but an elephant had crushed the wheat, separating the stalks, which makes images look smaller. I found this article to be very helpful

You might ask your newest consulting physician that made the DX of CSR to send a report to your original surgeon to hopefully help him learn something that may help the next patient that comes in with a similar problem.
Today i had the OCT and retinal mapping in a good eyecare center of my city. The doctor concluded i have 'central serous retinopathy'. He said although it's causing me bad vision, it will get better by itself eventually. I could see in the OCT the difference between my left (good) and right (bad) eye, the right has a hole on the macula. He says there is no treatment, told me to stay calm, avoid stress and make monthly visits to evaluate the problem progress. I'm not happy because i'll need to live with this problem for while, but at least now i know what i have and it's not a most serious problem like a macular degeneration... So thanks God !
I can't tell if it's getting worse in the last weeks or if i started to pay more attention to the problem, but one thing i'm sure is right after the surgery i did not have this problem. I will keep the schedule for next week, let's see what the doctor says. I hope this is not a serious problem, i can live with it specially because my left eye is OK and when i look with both eyes, i nearly can't notice the problem. Hope it's nothing serious...
I will post the results here, thanks for your attention.
This does not sound like an emergency. Waiting a week should not be a problem. Best wishes.
I forgot to mention i did the Amsler Grid test. I see the lines a bit 'curved' , but not in a fixed way ; when i move my eye, a part that seems curved then seems straight and vice-versa. Also, the distortion is not related to a fixed position in the grid (not in the center, for instance). But i cannot tell if this problem is getting worse with time.
I'm worried this could be a serious problem... do you think i should try to schedule my visit to the doctor before next week ? Would somedays make a difference ?
Thank you !
Ok, thank you very much !
Hi,
Thanks for the answers guys.
The problem happens with or without glasses ; after the surgery i needed to use reading glasses. The distortion / small vision in the right eye is present anyway.
I already scheduled a visit to another doctor next week and post here what happens.
Let's hope for the best.
Thanks
