Solar retinopathy (also known as, photic retinopathy, foveomacular retinitis, solar retinitis, and eclipse retinopathy) refers to a photochemical toxicity and resultant injury to retinal tissues, usually occurring at the fovea.
Exposing your eyes to the sun without proper eye protection during a solar eclipse can cause “eclipse blindness” or retinal burns, also known as solar retinopathy. This exposure to the light can cause damage or even destroy cells in the retina (the back of the eye) that transmit what you see to the brain.
Solar retinopathy is usually caused by staring directly into the sun or watching a solar eclipse. The retina is very sensitive to light, and it becomes injured when exposed to excessively bright light. Even a short amount of direct sun radiation can cause damage to the eye.
It is never safe to look directly at the sun's rays – even if the sun is partly obscured. When watching a partial eclipse you must wear eclipse glasses at all times if you want to face the sun, or use an alternate indirect method.
“Sunlight does bother some people's eyes, even with sunglasses on. Or everyone's necks were all craning up for so long, which might have something to do with it.” Solar retinopathy usually shows itself within the first 12 hours, so if your vision is still fine now, you're probably fine.
Let's consider how your eyes normally react to the sun. On a sunny day, if you were to look directly at the sun, you would know to look away after a split second because of the pain caused by the brightness. During most of a solar eclipse, the sun will be partly blocked by the moon, making it less bright.

Optical coherence tomography features are very useful in diagnosis of solar retinopathy as clinical features are usually of subtle nature. Typical outer retinal changes should arouse suspicion and indicate leading questions for history of exposure to sunlight.
Symptoms of solar retinopathy include poor vision and changes to vision. You may also experience blurry or discolored spots, pain, and a loss of vision in the center of the eye. Many solar retinopathy patients report being unable to read because of the changes, which can be temporary or permanent.
Staring at a solar eclipse (or staring at the sun at any time) can cause a burned retina — called solar retinopathy or solar maculopathy — that can cause permanent vision loss. So having adequate eye protection when viewing a solar eclipse is extremely important.
According to experts, it is perfectly safe to watch lunar eclipse with naked eye unlike solar eclipse that could damage the macula of the retina and the person might lose vision on the centre part of the eyes. "Unlike solar eclipse, lunar eclipse can cause no damage.
“If you look directly at the eclipse,” Dr. Hwang said, “it can burn your retina in mere seconds and can cause permanent damage.” The result, solar retinopathy—a blind spot in your vision. The longer the exposure, the more likely damage will occur.
A truly awe-inspiring event, a solar eclipse is when the moon blocks any part of the sun from our view. The bright face of the sun is covered gradually by the moon during a partial eclipse, lasting a few hours.
There is only one safe way to look directly at the sun, whether during an eclipse or not: through special-purpose solar filters. These solar filters are used in “eclipse glasses” or in hand-held solar viewers. They must meet a very specific worldwide standard known as ISO 12312-2.
During the brief period of a total eclipse when the moon fully covers the sun (only a couple of minutes), the light of day gives way to a deep twilight sky. The sun’s outer atmosphere (called the solar corona) gradually appears, glowing like a halo around the moon in front of it. Bright stars and planets become more visible in the sky.
Then, as soon as the bright sun begins to reappear very slightly, immediately use your solar viewer again to watch the remaining partial phase of the eclipse.
The intense solar rays coming through these devices will damage the solar filter and your eyes. Talk with an expert astronomer if you want to use a special solar filter with a camera, a telescope, binoculars or any other optical device.
Watching a solar eclipse is a memorable experience, but looking directly at the sun can seriously damage your eyes . Staring at the sun for even a short time without wearing the right eye protection can damage your retina permanently. It can even cause blindness, called solar retinopathy.
Never look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars or other similar devices. This is important even if you are wearing eclipse glasses or holding a solar viewer at the same time. The intense solar rays coming through these devices will damage the solar filter and your eyes.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as G43. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition. headache NOS (. ...
