Recurring CSR in right eye
I have recurrent CSR in my right eye & have undergone focal laser multiple times over last few years to stop the leak. However the leak starts again in a different spot after a while. I am aware that one of the main cause for CSR is stress - however, I have very less stress & this was also reflected in cortisol test that my doctor asked me to undergo couple of years ago. Currently I  have CSR again in right eye  & this time the fluid accumulated has increased after focal laser which was done in September after FFA & then again in November . As per doctor, PDT may be required as leak seems to be in fovea per recent FFA. I am a diabetic type 1 &  do not take any medication or use any products that may have steroids. I have no clue why this problem seems to recur so often. Is there any way I can prevent this from recurring? Is PDT the only solution for the current fluid accumulation.  Also are there any alternative therapies available for this? Any advice  will be very helpful.

Hello, In chronic CSR, Eplerenone is a medical option. However, certain tests need to be done before and after starting medicine. Get in touch with a retina specialist.
