Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2138832129

This is a chronic 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.
