Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR) is a common disorder that affects many individuals, often for unknown reasons; we present a case of bilateral CSR that rapidly resolved with treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

METHODS:

Observational case report.

RESULTS:

Bilateral decreased vision to 20/30 OD and 20/40 OS due to typical CSR lesions. Systemic evaluation led to a diagnosis of OSA, which was treated and resulted in rapid resolution of the CSR and improvement of visual acuity in both eyes.

DISCUSSION:

We present the first case of rapidly resolving bilateral CSR due to the treatment of OSA.
