Management options include observation in the initial stages, and LASER and anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (antiVEGF) injection in advanced cases. The symptom of blurred vision may be correlated with Timira, a Drishtigata Roga (disease of vision) according to Ayurveda. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old male presented with the blurring of vision, floaters, and curved vision. Management was on an outpatient basis over 3 years, during which oral medicines, ophthalmic drops, and external application of paste were administered. Results: Improvement was noted in visual acuity. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) macula showed gradual absorption of sub-retinal fluid. Conclusion: The main aim of management was to restore vision as much as possible while giving the patient a better quality of life. This study illustrates that cases of CSCR can be successfully managed using Ayurveda, and these treatments can be considered as an alternative option.&#13;
