Abstract: The article presents a clinical case of the patient with rare retinal pathology called “Solar Maculopathy.” During the examination, it was found that the most informative diagnostic methods for this disease are special techniques such as pattern-electroretinogram (pattern-ERG), microperimetry, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). After the prescribed treatment, the visual acuity increased from 0.4 to 1.0. To prevent the development of solar maculopathy, patients should be informed about the potential negative effects of sunlight, educational activities for the population should be conducted, and the use of eye protection should be recommended. Key words: solar maculopathy, OCT, pattern-ERG, microperimetry
