We present two patients with paramacular burns induced by the operative light microscope. In one case there was associated cystoid macular edema. Of the 34 total reported cases of paramacular burns, there have been only two cases of cystoid macular edema. Thus, although the total number of reported cases of light-induced maculopathy is small, this disorder does not appear to predispose to cystoid macular edema. Loss of visual acuity is mainly caused by the proximity of the burn to the fovea.
