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.
