Risk factors for incident central serous retinopathy: case-control analysis of a US national managed care population.

CONCLUSIONS: Male middle-aged patients with recent steroid exposure were significantly more likely to develop CSR. Other risk factors include diabetes mellitus, diabetic macular oedema and age-related macular degeneration. Other previously hypothesised risk factors did not appear to confer increased risk. More research is needed to confirm and examine underlying pathophysiology. PMID: 30872284 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
