Did Not Use Solar Glasses? Solar retinopathy is a condition that occurs when the eye is exposed to intense sunlight or solar radiation without proper protection. This exposure can cause damage to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, leading to a range of visual symptoms. The symptoms of solar retinopathy can vary in severity and may include blurred vision, distorted vision, central blind spots, or even a loss of central vision. In some cases, the damage may be permanent. If you experience any symptoms of solar retinopathy after viewing a solar eclipse or any other solar event, it's essential to seek prompt medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can help minimize damage and preserve your vision. Book your appointment online or Call us at 519 787 0027.
