Abstract
To identify long-term changes in choroidal thickness after solar retinopathy. The study included 25 eyes of 25 men with acute solar retinopathy. Ocular examination, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and retinal and choroidal thickness measurements obtained using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography were evaluated. The mean follow-up was 6.1 ± 0.4 months. The initial BCVA decreased in the affected eyes (P < .001). The mean BCVA (logMAR) improved significantly from 0.16 ± 0.06 to 0.03 ± 0.05 at 6 months (P < .001). There were no significant differences in the initial retinal and choroidal thicknesses between the affected and other eyes, while there was a significant decrease in the mean macular thickness and mean macular volume at 1 month and the mean choroidal thickness increased (P < .001). Significant retinal and choroidal thickness changes occurred after solar retinopathy. The changes in choroidal thickness suggest that the effects of solar retinopathy might not be limited to the retina.
