ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The Ocular manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reported include conjunctivitis, conjunctival hyperemia, chemosis, epiphora, episcleritis, retinal manifestations included cotton wool spots (CWS), micro-hemorrhages, papillophlebitis and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations.Purpose:
To report post COVID-19 ophthalmic manifestations using multimodal imaging.Results:
A 66-year-old Asian Indian male presented to us with bilateral blurring of vision, RE>LE, of 3 days following a diagnosis of COVID-19 disease. Corrected distance visual acuity were 20/2666 and 20/25 in the right (RE) and left (LE) eyes respectively. He had bilateral anterior chamber inflammation with a relative afferent pupillary defect in the RE. RE showed central retinal artery occlusion(CRAO) with CWS, few flame-shaped retinal hemorrhages and disc edema and hyperemia. LE had disc edema and hyperemia, few flame-shaped retinal hemorrhages, cystoid changes and CWS. A diagnosis of bilateral panuveitis and papillitis with CRAO in the RE was made.Conclusion:
Our patient developed a vascular occlusion with panuveitis, which possibly represents an immune mediated event following COVID-19. Patients should be warned about possible ophthalmic sequelae even after recovery.Keywords
