ABSTRACT
COVID-19 was declared as a global pandemic by the WHO in 2020. Although it is a respiratory virus, ocular complications and manifestations of the infection have been reported in different forms. We report a case of transient myopia and narrow angles due to choroidal effusion following infection by the SARS-COV-2 virus. We propose that the ability of the virus to incite an inflammatory response in the host body may be the mechanism behind the disease entity. This is a novel, previously undocumented ocular complication in case of a COVID-19 infection.
