Solar radiation causes acute foveal injury resulting in outer retinal defects. Symptoms often follow an event of unprotected gazing at a solar eclipse or directly viewing the sun. We encountered a series of cases during winter among habitants of high altitudes who complained of visual field scotomas. All of them had a typical history of prolonged sunbathing but denied gazing at the sun directly. Optical coherence tomography showed outer retinal defects involving the ellipsoid zone characteristic of solar retinopathy in all patients. In this case series, we would like to emphasize the role of geographical factors in the causation of solar retinopathy.
太阳辐射可导致急性黄斑损伤，进而引起视网膜外层病变。其症状通常出现在未进行适当防护而直视日食或太阳之后。我们在冬季于高海拔地区居民中遇到一系列此类病例，他们主诉视野缺损。所有患者均有长时间日光浴但否认直视太阳的典型病史。光学相干断层扫描显示所有患者均存在累及椭圆体带的视网膜外层病变，符合太阳视网膜病变的特征。在本病例系列中，我们想强调地理因素在太阳视网膜病变发病中的作用。
