“…Unilateral solar retinopathy has been reported to occur because of an asymmetrical reflex blink response. 9 It is possible that the patient may have exposed his left eye to a greater degree and potentially may have also had a greater blink response in the right eye.…”

Purpose: Photic retinal toxicity induced by exposure to arc welding can lead to irreversible vision loss. Serial multimodal imaging is characterized in a patient with outer retinal damage secondary to welder's maculopathy.Methods: A single case was retrospectively reviewed.Results: Spectral domain optical coherence tomography acutely revealed disruption of the ellipsoid zone, hyperreflective bands through the outer nuclear layer, and outer retinal cavitation consistent with phototoxicity. Subsequently, disruption and hypertrophy of the subfoveal retinal pigment epithelium developed. Autofluorescence depicted central hypoautofluorescence. Conclusion:We report serial multimodal imaging in welder's maculopathy to better characterize the evolution of lesions. Multimodal imaging including spectral domain optical coherence tomography in arc welding phototoxicity may share features with other forms of phototoxicity such as hand-held laser maculopathy.

“…(33) Patient D's unilateral findings have also been described as solar maculopathy, most frequently being worse in the dominant eye. (34) Rai et al showed 60 unilateral cases of solar maculopathy in a study carried out in Nepal with a certain peculiarity of these patients. They were mostly Hindu, who shared a tradition of sun worship in which the hands are used to leave a hole to make only the dominant eye see the sun.…”

“…Mehlan et al described a unilateral case, but with proven eclipse viewing. (34,35) MacFaul et al described nine cases of unilateral solar maculopathy (36) and Dhir et al described seven eyes with the unilateral presentation, (6) but both studies were carried out at a time when OCT did not exist, which could bring interpretation bias. Possible differential diagnoses for a unilateral external retinal defect could include laser pointer maculopathy, unilateral inflammatory maculopathy, unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy, acute macular neuroretinopathy, and white dot syndromes.…”

The characteristic optical coherence tomography finding in solar maculopathy is a well-defined outer retinal hyporeflective space primarily involving the photoreceptor inner and outer segment layers. This typical optical coherence tomography image may be present in a few other pathologies, which currently constitute their main differential diagnoses. Our study shows the report of 12 eyes of 6 patients treated at the Hospital de Olhos do Paraná, presenting their clinical history and diagnostic images, with the purpose of comparing the findings of the first 3 patients (diagnosed with solar maculopathy) with the last 3 patients, which are also cases of external macular holes. RESUMOO achado característico da tomografia de coerência óptica na maculopatia solar é um espaço hiporrefletivo retiniano externo bem definido, envolvendo principalmente as camadas dos segmentos interno e externo dos fotorreceptores. Essa imagem típica da tomografia de coerência óptica pode estar presente em algumas outras patologias, que atualmente constituem seus principais diagnósticos diferenciais. Nosso estudo mostra o relato de 12 olhos de 6 pacientes atendidos no Hospital de Olhos do Paraná, apresentando sua história clínica e imagens diagnósticas, com o objetivo de comparar os achados dos 3 primeiros pacientes (diagnosticados com maculopatia solar) com os 3 últimos pacientes, que também são casos de buracos maculares externos.
