CALVO-GONZALEZ, C. et al. Optical coherence tomography in solar eclipse retinopathy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.5, pp.297-300. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We describe the case of a patient suffering from acute visual loss soon after watching a solar eclipse. Optical coherence tomography was the main diagnostic tool used. Discussion: Solar retinopathy is now an unusual cause of visual loss, although there are still some cases diagnosed, especially after viewing solar eclipses. Optical coherence tomography is suitable for detecting permanent retinal injuries related to solar exposure, with the outer retinal layers being typically affected.
Palavras-chave : Solar retinopathy; optical coherence tomography.
