title: Bilateral solar retinopathy. Autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography.
abstract: METHODS
  A 33-year-old man referred decreased bilateral visual acuity for five years, with no history of interest. Military profession and probably previous sun exposure. Focal pigmented lesions in the macular area of the fundus were observed, with impairment of the photoreceptor layer in the fovea, observed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), in various sectors of the fovea.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Solar retinopathy is associated with professions at risk of sun exposure. The diagnosis is based on autofluorescence and macular OCT, that later will provide key data to establish the cause.
