Introduction. Solar retinopathy refers to retinal injury induced by direct or
indirect solar viewing. Case report. We presented a patient who had observed
partial solar eclipse 51 year before. He had bilaterally decreased vision and
scar of the macular region at the time of presentation. The basic diagnostic
tool applied in the presented patient, optical coherence tomography, showed
hyporeflexivity of the outer retina in the segment of retinal pigment
epithelialphotoreceptors complex with atrophy and thinning of the foveolar
region. Conclusion. Optical coherence tomography is a powerful, non-invasive
diagnostic tool which can ease the diagnosis and estimate the level and
nature of the macular region damage.
