Sun-gazing can cause solar retinopathy, leading to vision loss. This case shows how prolonged sun exposure damaged a patient's fovea, resulting in persistent visual impairment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases

Background:

  • Solar retinopathy is a condition caused by direct sun-gazing.
  • Prolonged solar exposure can lead to significant visual impairment.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 20-year-old male who engaged in prolonged sun-gazing.
  • The patient presented with blurred vision, erythropsia, and central scotoma in the left eye.

Findings:

  • Fundus examination revealed yellowish-white lesions on the fovea of both eyes.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed a lamellar hole in the left fovea after six months.
  • Visual acuity remained significantly reduced in the affected eye.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the severe and potentially permanent damage from sun-gazing.
