[Solar maculopathy].
The paper presents three cases of photosolar maculopathy which point to possibility of visual impairment as a result of sun gazing due to the religious reasons. In all cases irreversibile visual impairment with permanent central scotoma had developed. Sun gazing is dangerous regardless of motives, and the only way to prevent photosolar maculopathy is to avoid sun gazing.
