Doctors are seeing more and more cases of central serous chorio retinopathy, a somewhat mysterious eye disease that distorts and blurs vision. While the disease affects mostly men, hormonal changes may put pregnant women at risk.
Doctors suspect our increasingly stressful lives.
The symptoms are dramatic and easily diagnosed. A group of cells under the retina, whose job is normally to pump out fluid, for some reason reverse the flow of fluid so that it goes under the retina. Doctors can prescribe glasses to help people cope with temporarily blurred vision, and there is usually no permanent damage to the eye. All rights reserved.
