The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and Indiana Academy of Ophthalmology recently collaborated to provide guidance to physicians for an anticipated surge in solar retinopathy cases following the total solar eclipse on April 8. 
 
IDOH is planning for a potential surge in patients with eye complaints due to the eclipse and the number of anticipated visitors to the area.
 
There is no specific treatment for solar retinopathy caused by looking at the eclipse without proper eye protection. In most cases, the condition will heal within three to six months. Emergency evaluation for solar retinopathy is not necessary.
