Near-infrared fundus autoflorescence imaging in solar retinopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solar retinopathy is a rare clinical entity caused by photochemical damage to the retinal pigment epithelium layer and photoreceptors of the fovea. Here we describe a case of a 33-year-old female patient diagnosed by near-infrared fundus autofluorescence imaging for signs of damage to the melanosomes of the retinal pigment epithelium of the fovea. The patient was advised to discontinue looking at the sun with the naked eye.

Subtle solar retinopathy detected by fourier-domain optical coherence tomography.
Solar retinopathy is a retinal injury caused by direct or indirect sun-gazing and solar eclipse observation without protection. Subtle changes in the retinal damage might not be evident on fundus photography and fluorescein angiography. A 40-year-old veteran suffered from paracentral scotoma in his left eye shortly after unprotected solar eclipse observation about 1 month earlier. His visual ac...
متن کاملInfrared imaging of sub-retinal structures in the human ocular fundus
The interaction of infrared light with the human ocular fundus, particularly sub-retinal structures, was studied in vivo. Visible and infra-red wavelengths and a scanning laser ophthalmoscope were used to acquire digital images of the human fundus. The contrast and reflectance of selected retinal and sub-retinal features were computed for a series of wavelengths or modes of imaging. Near infrar...
متن کاملSolar Retinopathy: A Multimodal Analysis
Purpose. Solar retinopathy is a rare clinical disturbance, for which spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings are not always consistent. We report on two cases of solar retinopathy and discuss its differential diagnosis. Methods. This is an observational case study. Results. A 12-year-old female was referred to ophthalmology for bilateral scotoma. Visual acuity was 20/50 i...
متن کاملAdaptive optics study of photoreceptors layer damage from presumed sun exposure: A case report
Sir, In the present study, we described a case of solar retinopathy studied by means of adaptive optics (AO). Solar retinopathy consists in a photooxidative retinal injury following a prolonged exposition to high‑energy light. Histopathological studies have confirmed that both the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer and the outer segments of the photoreceptors layers are susceptible to be da...
متن کاملA Pc-controlled Reflectometer for Functional Imaging of Ocular Fundus
The paper presents an imaging reflectometer designed to detect flicker-induced reflectance changes of the ocular fundus. The system is based on a modified fundus camera completely controlled by a personal computer via USB interface. The system allows in-vivo functional imaging of the ocular fundus in the near-infrared region with flicker light stimulus in the visible spectrum.
