Recently (on 6th Sep, 2009), I had an attack of CSR in my Left Eye almost coinciding with an attack of Chikungunya Viral Fever, and the CSR cleared when the peak fever cleared in 5 days.

In general, is Direct Gonisoscopy using Koeppe Lens advised (essential ?) for CSR patients after the CSR has cleared ? ie say, 4-6 weeks after the initial CSR attack ? - even if the patient has no Galucoma or Angle problems in the past ?

I want to avoid Gonioscopy because it involves local anasthesia, and directly contacting the Cornea etc.
What are the bad side effects of :
- this Gonioscopy process ?
- the side effects of the anasthesia drops ?

As a percentage, in how many CSR cases, is Direct Gonioscopy done, specially when their eyes were otherwise healthy before the CSR attack ?

I have checked my Cortisol levels - they are normal ; the H.Pylori Test is negative.
What other pathology Tests do I need to get done to find out if I am predisposed to CSR ?

Thanks in advance.
