ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to report on the possible deleterious effect of corticosteroids in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). We will describe three patients in whom CSCR was induced or aggravated by corticosteroids. Despite multiple reports describing the onset of CSCR or aggravation of existing lesions with corticosteroids, they are still used by some ophthalmologists for the treatment of CSCR. Corticosteroids are also widely used for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Ophthalmologists should be aware that corticosteroids independently of the way of administration may cause this type of complication.
