Drone retinopathy

PURPOSE: To report a case of solar retinopathy due to inadvertent exposure to the sun while piloting a drone without protective eyewear. METHODS: A 29-year-old male underwent a complete eye exam including optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula. RESULTS: Bilateral juxtafoveal outer retinal...

description PURPOSE: To report a case of solar retinopathy due to inadvertent exposure to the sun while piloting a drone without protective eyewear. METHODS: A 29-year-old male underwent a complete eye exam including optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula. RESULTS: Bilateral juxtafoveal outer retinal microcystic cavities present on OCT consistent with solar retinopathy. CONCLUSION: With the increasing popularity of unmanned aircrafts, eye protection awareness during drone use is essential.
