Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1805579540

This is an acute eye disease which causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye. When the disorder is active it is characterised by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula. This results in blurred or distorted vision (metamorphopsia). A blurred or grey spot in the central visual field is common when the retina is detached. Reduced visual acuity may persist after the fluid has disappeared.
