The term chorioretinopathy refers to
any disease, disorder, or medical condition of the eye that involves
both the choroid
layer and the retina.
One example of chorioretinopathy is Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
This is a condition involving shallow retinal detachment due to leakage
through one of the layers of the retina. Its cause is not yet fully
understood but it affects some people (usually young men) causing
impaired / distorted vision. Symptoms may settle
after a few months.
