An Indian man developed a yellow dot in both of his eyes after sun-gazing every day for 35 years, a new case report has revealed.

The unidentified patient, from New Delhi, looked directly at the sun shortly after dawn for up to 10 minutes each day for religious reasons.

Doctors diagnosed the 62-year-old with solar retinopathy after he complained his vision had become blurry over a period of four months.

Writing in BMJ Case Reports, they said the condition is most often triggered when people attempt to view a solar eclipse.
