Eclipse retinopathy is a maculopathy that occurs after exposure to intense solar radiation, such as occurs during an eclipse, and is produced by a photochemical mechanism. Although the macular changes and symptoms are usually reversible, residual defects at the level of the EPR and scotoma in visual fields can occur. For these reasons the most appropriate treatment is prevention by means of public awareness campaigns.

We have developed an experimental model to observe the course of suctioning and changes in IOP simultaneously. This model seems to be accurate in obtaining IOP values from the anterior chamber cavity during LASIK.
