The adverse psychological sequelae of stress are well recognized by occupational health specialists. Potential adverse physical effects, such as ischaemic heart disease, are more contentious but are biologically plausible. This report outlines a case of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC), an uncommon but potentially sight-threatening condition, which is widely accepted amongst ophthalmologists to be stress related. The condition is not referred to in standard occupational health texts or databases. The report includes a brief review of the ophthalmological literature on which the connection between ICSC and stress has been made, and a need for further research promoted.
职业健康专家充分认识到压力会产生不良心理后遗症。诸如缺血性心脏病等潜在的不良身体影响更具争议性，但从生物学角度来看是有道理的。本报告概述了一例特发性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变（ICSC）病例，这是一种不常见但可能威胁视力的疾病，眼科医生普遍认为它与压力有关。标准的职业健康文献或数据库中未提及这种疾病。该报告简要回顾了关于ICSC与压力之间联系的眼科文献，并提出了进一步研究的必要性。
