title: Optical coherence tomography in late solar retinopathy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Solar retinopathy refers to retinal injury induced by direct or indirect solar viewing.
  
  
  METHODS
  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 epithelial-photoreceptors complex with atrophy and thinning of the foveolar region.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
