Solar observa on and eye damage is known for centuries. Unprotected eclipse viewing is the leading cause of solar re nopathy. Inspite of using commercially available cer fi ed solar fi lters, use of binoculars, exposed photographic fi lm and X-ray fi lm are common unsafe prac ce of eclipse viewing. Public awareness by media campaigns about the appropriate protec ve measures while viewing an eclipse is the mainstay in the preven on of this disease. The natural course of solar re nopathy is to show resolu on and visual improvement, but use of an -infl ammatory drugs hastens the recovery. We report a case of young male with acute solar re nopathy a er viewing solar eclipse. The pa ent was successfully treated with cor costeroids with complete visual rehabilita on.
