Abstract
Solar retinopathy (SR) refers to retinal injury that results from unprotected excessive exposure to light. It has been associated with direct sungazing, sunbathing, laser pointers, and welding arc exposure. Symptoms are typically bilateral and are characterized by asymmetric decreased vision, central or paracentral scotoma, photophobia, metamorphopsia, and headache. In most cases, recovery occurs spontaneously with no specific treatment within weeks to 6 months after exposure. However, few cases have been reported in the literature using steroids in acute SR because of their anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this review is to present an update about this entity, describing the pathogenesis, risk factors, and diagnostic methods, with focus on management and outcomes of SR.
日光性视网膜病变（SR）是指在没有保护措施的情况下过度暴露于光线下而导致的视网膜损伤。它与直接晒太阳、日光浴、激光指示器和电弧照射有关。症状通常是双侧的，表现为不对称的视力下降、中心或旁中心视网膜障、畏光、变形和头痛。在大多数病例中，暴露后数周至 6 个月内，无需特殊治疗即可自发康复。然而，由于类固醇具有抗炎作用，文献中很少报道在急性 SR 中使用类固醇的病例。本综述旨在介绍这种疾病的最新情况，描述其发病机制、风险因素和诊断方法，重点关注 SR 的管理和预后。
