Abstract:
Photic retinal injuries following operating microscopic light exposure or endoillumination are produced by mechanical, thermal or photochemical mechanism. The authors experienced a case of a patient who developed a round macular lesion which seemed to be a light-induced retinal damage during pars plana vitrectomy and removal of intraretinal foreign body.
