Solar retinopathy is a clinical entity of macular damage, caused by viewing a solar eclipse or direct sun-gazing. Fortunately the visual loss is usually reversible. We present 3 cases with solar retinopathy who were watched the solar eclipse directly in 3 of October 2005 and illustrate the clinical, photographic and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) findings of them. The optical coherence tomography findings in early period resolved spontaneously with the clinical findings in 6 months. The severity of damage may be related to the duration of the light exposure. The visual prognosis of solar retinopathy is usually favorable but prevention remains the mainstay of treatment.Keywords: Tomography, optical coherence, macular degeneration, solar energyTurkiye Klinikleri J Ophthalmol 2008, 17:62-65
