VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The early morning religious ritual of sun gazing may be causing patients in India to experience chronic solar retinopathy with macular changes and a decrease in visual acuity, according to a speaker here.
“Sun gazing as a ritual can cause chronic solar retinopathy. Macular changes on OCT and fundus are very characteristic. Any person with these characteristic macular changes should always be asked about sun gazing,” Shaileen Parikh, MS, DO, FMRF, said at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting.
