I think I found it...
Central serous chorioretinopathy (
CSC or
CSCR), also known as
central serous retinopathy (
CSR), is an
eye disease that causes
visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye.
[1][2] When the disorder is active it is characterized by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula. This results in blurred or distorted vision (
metamorphopsia).
The disease is considered of unknown cause. It mostly affects white males in the age group 20 to 50 (male:female ratio 6:1)
[3] and occasionally other groups. The condition is believed to be exacerbated by
stress or
corticosteroid use.
[4]
CSR is sometimes called
idiopathic CSR which means that its cause is unknown. Nevertheless,
stress appears to play an important role. An oft-cited but potentially inaccurate conclusion is that persons in stressful occupations, such as airplane pilots, have a higher incidence of CSR.
CSR has also been associated with
cortisol and
corticosteroids. Persons with CSR have higher levels of cortisol.
[8] Cortisol is a
hormone secreted by the
adrenal cortex which allows the body to deal with stress, which may explain the CSR-stress association.
