Solar observation and eye damage is known for centuries. Unprotected eclipse viewing is the leading cause of solar retinopathy. Inspite of using commercially available certified solar filters, use of binoculars, exposed photographic film and X-ray film are common unsafe practice of eclipse viewing. Public awareness by media campaigns about the appropriate protective measures while viewing an eclipse is the mainstay in the prevention of this disease. The natural course of solar retinopathy is to show resolution and visual improvement, but use of anti-inflammatory drugs hastens the recovery. We report a case of young male with acute solar retinopathy after viewing solar eclipse. The patient was successfully treated with corticosteroids with complete visual rehabilitation.
