Hi everyone... I wanted to step in and share my own journey dealing with CSR. It first hit my left eye back in 2017. For about four or five months, I was diligently using eye drops and taking Diamox for a while, and during that period, I experienced both ups and downs, but that fluid just wouldn't clear up. Once the doctors realized it wasn't going away on its own, they decided to go with laser treatment; however, because there was a leak at the center of my vision, they couldn't perform a standard burn, so they used a cold laser (EPM) just to provide a little bit of heat. Right after that, within two or three weeks, things started looking better, and by the five or six-week mark at my follow-up appointment, the fluid was completely gone. After about six months, my visual acuity bounced back to 90%. Since then, I've had CSR recur twice in that same eye, and neither time did the drops or Diamox do the trick—each time, it took the laser to make it recede. Following that second episode, my vision returned to 90% again. My most recent bout happened in the summer of 2020, and once again, it only cleared up after the laser procedure, bringing my vision back to 80%. In both the second and third instances, the laser was performed roughly two months after the CSR appeared, and it successfully receded every single time. I've been told that the sooner the fluid clears, the less permanent damage you sustain. Most importantly, you absolutely must avoid any kind of corticosteroids and try your best to stay away from stress.

It operates with incredible speed and efficiency regardless of the circumstances, offering an effective range of about 400 meters and providing enough power to handle an entire group of people if the situation demands it. Just a word of advice: you should probably steer clear of using batons because you could easily injure someone and end up behind bars. 👍
