Loss of vision due to central serous chorioretinopathy following psychological stress
GS Gelber and H Schatz
The authors studied 33 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy and
found that a very disturbing psychological event had preceded the loss of
vision in 91% of the cases. The acute disturbance preceded the first visual
symptoms by an average of 7 days. When relapses occurred, the psychological
disturbances were often less severe and preceded the visual symptoms by
minutes or hours. In some cases vision improved 1 to 2 weeks after the
patient learned of the amelioration of the original distressing situation.
The majority of the patients were found to be tension ridden, and 48% had
cardiovascular abnormalities.
