Eclipse retinopathy

S P Dhir, A Gupta, I S Jain

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |January 1, 1981

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Solar eclipses can cause eclipse retinopathy, but most patients regain good vision. Early fluorescein angiography may show temporary changes, with severe cases potentially causing pigment epithelium damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Solar Event Impact

    Background:

    • Solar eclipses pose a risk of retinal injury.
    • Eclipse retinopathy is a known, albeit rare, consequence of viewing solar events directly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical presentation and visual outcomes of patients with eclipse retinopathy.
    • To analyze findings from fluorescein angiography in affected eyes.
    • To understand the pathophysiology of retinal damage from solar eclipses.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of 10 patients (13 eyes) with eclipse retinopathy.
    • Clinical examination including visual acuity assessment.
    • Fluorescein angiography performed at different time points post-eclipse.

    Main Results:

    • No correlation found between lesion severity and visual acuity.
    • 80% of followed eyes achieved 6/6 or better vision.
    • Early fluorescein angiography showed microleaks or masking; later showed window defects.

    Conclusions:

    • Mild to moderate eclipse retinopathy may involve transient retinal capillary spasm.
    • Severe cases can lead to temporary pigment epithelium micropunctures and microleaks.
    • Visual prognosis for eclipse retinopathy is generally good with appropriate follow-up.
