Summary: Solar retinopathy is a maculopathy that occurs after exposure to intense solar radiation and is produced by a photochemical mechanism. Symptoms appear after 1 to 4 hours. Patients may complain of decreased visual acuity, metamorphopsia, dyschromatopsia and central scotomas. Optical coherence tomography is suitable for detecting permanent retinal injuries and is basic to diagnose this disease. Effective therapy of solar retinopathy doesn’t exist. The most important is the prevention: the proper education and informing the public about the harmful effect of strong sunlight exposure to the eye and how to protect against this radiation.
