The paper reports the case series of solar retinopathy. High definition optical coherence tomography examinations performed within 2 days after solar light-induced injury indicated a characteristic retinal disorder – a curved, hyper-reflective lesion extending from the retinal pigment epithelium at the fovea to the parafoveal outer plexiform layer. The findings correspond to the layout of photoreceptor cells whose injury in patients with solar retinopathy is confirmed by histological studies reported in available publications.
