We present four young patients with acute severe solar retinopathy after observation of the total eclipse on January 4, 2011 without appropriate eye protection. Funduscopic findings were accompanied by optical coherence tomography (OCT) investigation of the macula. All our patients were young (range 14–29 years). In three of the four patients we have been able to repeat OCT evaluation revealing that the retinal changes were reversible, but delineating mild pathology in the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors. Best-corrected visual acuity in the fourth case was 6/24. In addition, macular edema, which has been previously described in literature, could not be demonstrated by OCT. In the two cases we performed an early fluorescein angiogram, no pathology was seen. Presentamos cuatro pacientes jóvenes con retinopatía solar severa y aguda, tras la observación de un eclipse total el 4 de Enero de 2011, sin protección ocular adecuada. Los hallazgos funduscópicos se acompañaron de una prueba de tomografía de coherencia óptica (TCO) de la mácula. Todos nuestros pacientes eran jóvenes (rango 14–29 años). En tres de los cuatro pacientes pudimos repetir la prueba de TCO, que reveló que los cambios en la retina eran reversibles, pero subrayaron una patología leve en el epitelio pigmentario retiniano y los foto-receptores. La agudeza visual mejor corregida último caso fue de 6/24. Además, no se pudo demostrar el edema macular mediante la TCO, que ha sido previamente descrito en la literatura. En los dos casos en que realizamos un angiograma fluoresceínico no se observó patología alguna.
