Abstract

A report of 11 cases of solar retinopathy is given. Particular emphasis is laid on the mechanism of light hazard with protective measures available, symptoms including scotomata with visual prognosis, and the clinico-pathological correlation of the findings. These are divided into mild, with early retinal oedema, and moderate, with later development of pseudo-lamellar holes associated with the presence of a fibrillar 'tuft' described here for the first time.
