Abstract
Since the widespread use of operating microscopes and artificial intra ocular lenses in the early '80s, photoretinitis of the macula and para macular area has been a well-documented clinical entity. A case is rep orted of a unilateral paramacular chorioretinal phototrauma after cata ract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. I ndocyanine-green angiography (ICG-A) demonstrated the atrophy of the c horiocapillaris, which was seen as a hypofluorescent area.
