INTRODUCTION: High-resolution ocular coherence computed tomography enables unprecedented visualization of the retinal microarchitecture. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of high-resolution ocular coherence tomography findings in the healed form of photic post-cataract retinopathy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old Caucasian man complained of paracentral scotoma, persisting for six weeks after cataract surgery. CONCLUSION: Ocular coherence tomography demonstrated a localized juxta-foveal area of retinal atrophy involving the photoreceptor layer, and the retinal pigment epithelium layer.
