Abstract: 【Abstract】 Objective To observe the manifestation and prognosis of mini macular lesions in eclipse retinopathy. Design Retrospective case series. Participants Six patients (11 eyes) with macular lesions from Tongren Hospital after the eclipse happened in 2009 were included into analysis. Methods Optical coherence tomography (OCT), autofluorescence photography, micro visual field and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) in all 6 patients were examined and followed up. Follow-up time was 2-18 months. Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity, OCT, and autofluorescence changes. Results Rupture of photoreceptor outer segment layer and inner layer of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the fovea of the all 11 affected eyes was found on OCT images. Hypo-fluorescence in the fovea on autofluorescence photographs and yellow spot on color fundus photographs were found. In 7 eyes the results of the other auxiliary examinations were normal. Visual acuity at first visit was 0.6-0.8, and 1-4 weeks later visual acuity was 1.0 or better in all patients. Conclusion Mini macular lesions in eclipse retinopathy can be found promptly with OCT and autofluorescence photography. Visual recovery of this lesion is better. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2012, 21: 244-247)
