Abstract

High Altitude Retinopathy (HAR) refers to retinal changes that occur in individuals travelling to higher altitudes. It is not a common condition and is usually reversible so early detection and diagnosis is very much important for timely management. It is usually characterized by sudden blurring of vision and on fundus examination, retinal hemorrhages may be present which may be associated with disc edema as well in some cases.
