Ophthalmologists are warning of the dangers of using mobile devices in the sun following two cases of solar maculopathy in the absence of direct sun-gazing.
Their first patient, aged 30, presented with bilateral metamorphopsia, central scotoma and decreased visual acuity two days after reading with his tablet computer on the terrace of a ski centre for four hours.
