Definition: | retinal lesion produced by intense visible or IR-A radiation exposure Note 1 to entry: The term "retinal burn" is generally used to describe a thermal retinal lesion (see "retinal thermal injury"); however, it is sometimes applied to a photochemical retinal lesion. More specific terms are also used for a photochemical "burn", i.e. a "photic maculopathy" (from blue-light-induced injuries), or for a retinal thermal injury, a "chorioretinal thermal injury".
