Foveo-macular retinitis, solar retinopathy, and trauma.
Abstract
Three patients are described with foveal lesions resembling minute holes following trauma. The similarity of the lesions to foveomacular retinitis and solar retinopathy suggests that all these conditions produce a similar, localised neuroretinal lesion with sparing of the pigment epithelium. Loss of the photoreceptors at the fovea would be expected to produce a lesion resembling a small retinal hole.
