Abstract
Retinal light damage is a poorly understood phenomenon, due to its multifactorial etiology and relatively infrequent recognition. It has been increasingly identified following ocular surgery involving the intense light of the operating microscope. The authors describe the clinical entity, review salient features of its pathophysiology and provide guidelines for prevention of retinal phototoxicity.Entities:
