More DescriptionBirdshot retinochoroidopathy (BSRC) is a progressively blinding autoimmune disease which ruins vision slowly, with loss of central visual acuity in the late stages. Corticosteroid therapy does not prevent this progressive loss of vision. Systemic immunomodulatory therapy does prevent progressive loss of vision. The disease is probably triggered by some factor, such as a microbe, in genetically susceptible individuals.This monograph was crafted by field experts and presenters during preparation for the Second International Symposium on Birdshot Retinochoroidopathy, held in Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday, September 28, 2013.
