Ophthalmology and Optometry

Ocular manifestations of the Coronavirus

The coronavirus's global pandemic has had a significant and enduring impact. There is still much to learn about the condition. Conjunctivitis was once believed to be an ocular symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to several anecdotal and published reports of eye redness and irritation in COVID-19 patients. According to recent study, COVID-19 has been connected to uveitis, Retinovascular, and neuro-ophthalmic disease. It has been determined from the results in the patients' eyes that the SAR-CoV-2 virus can also infect unprotected eyes. The COVID-19 medications also have negative effects on the eyes.

Although long-term use of the antimalarial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine can harm the retina, this is neither anticipated nor observed with COVID-19.
