根据文献記載,只要直接观察太阳,甚至从水面上反射来的阳光射入眼内均可能发生視网膜灼伤。它也可发生于透过望远鏡来观察太阳或注視由鏡子反射出来的太阳。 St,Yves氏(1722)最早詳述因观察日蝕而造成本病。Dufour氏(1882)首先描述本病之眼底变化。此后每当日蝕之后,不断有病例报告。 According to the literature, retinal burns may occur as long as direct observation of the sun, and even sunlight reflected from the surface of the water into the eye. It can also happen when looking at the sun through a telescope or by looking at the sun reflected by a mirror. St, Yves’ (1722) earliest details of the eclipse caused by the observation of the disease. Dufour’s (1882) first described the change in the fundus of the disease. After each eclipse since then, there are continuous case reports.
