Abstract: 
Central serous chorioretinopathy is the fourth most common retinopathy after age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and branch retinal vein occlusion. It’s usually unilateral and affect young or middle-aged men with M: F - 3:1 whereas female tend to be older. It’s a common ocular disease characterized by decompensation of the retinal pigment epithelium, which results in neurosensory retinal detachment, serous pigment epithelium detachment, and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. Early identification and treatment are needed to prevent complications.
Conclusion: Patients may require early intervention to prevent loss of photoreceptor layer integrity. Though Majority of cases are self-resolving, mineralocorticoid antagonists can be given for faster resorption of subretinal fluid. Photo Dynamic Therapy may be required for cases of chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
