title: Foveo-macular retinitis, solar retinopathy, and trauma.
abstract: Three patients are described with foveal lesions resembling minute holes following trauma. The similarity of the lesions to foveomacular retinitis and solar retinopathy suggests that all these conditions produce a similar, localised neuroretinal lesion with sparing of the pigment epithelium. Loss of the photoreceptors at the fovea would be expected to produce a lesion resembling a small retinal hole.
