title: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in lightning-induced maculopathy.
abstract: The authors report a case of lightning-induced chorioretinal burn accompanied by mild anterior segment injuries. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images were used to document the progressive retinal and choroidal changes. As evidenced by this report, despite being sight-threatening, such injuries may allow for a significant functional recovery.
