[QUOTE="HarryCat, post: 19516, member: 856"] It is not a serious side effect. The incidence of CSR in the general population of men is about 10 in 100 000, which is small consolation if your one of the people who has it. What the study suggests is that restoring testosterone to youthful levels restores the risk of developing CSR, since it primarily occurs in young men. The study doesn't explain why only 2 patients chose to stop TRT, the retinologists that I have seen flip out if they see subretinal fluid in my eyes. "The patients were followed for an average of 17.3 months (range, 3–59 months). Seven patients contin- ued with the testosterone treatment for the duration with poor resolution of subretinal fluid. One patient was treated with photodynamic therapy without signif- icant improvement. Two patients discontinued treat- ment at the time of their initial evaluation. In both of these patients, their symptoms resolved, subretinal fluid resorbed, and their vision improved to 20/20 where it remained at the last follow-up (Figure 1)." [/QUOTE]
