4 Ways COVID Leaves Its Mark on the Eye
"few with COVID will develop eye problems. But when those problems occur, they can range from mild to vision-threatening. Many of these problems affect the retina...Here are four of the most common eye problems that may develop after COVID infection"
Ocular manifestations of COVID-19 in the pediatric age group
“Episcleritis, conjunctivitis, optic neuritis, cranial nerve palsies, retinal vein occlusion, retinal vasculitis, retinal changes, orbital myositis, orbital cellulitis were reported in the literature with this emerging viral illness.”
One year after COVID-19 and fighting for my vision
One year after COVID-19 and fighting for my vision Struggling with symptoms including light sensitivity, pain and poor depth perception, Mark didn’t know what was wrong with his eyes. But his doctor of optometry did: the lingering effects of COVID-19.
In the Eye of the Storm: How Covid-19 Impacts the Eye
“It’s possible retinal injury is a consequence of vascular dysfunction around the eye related to the infection of epithelial cells lining blood vessels…Infected retinal ganglion cells may activate inflammatory signal pathways that damage nearby cells.”
COVID Can Cause Strange Eye and Ear Symptoms
2021: “‘The data are growing to suggest that there are more neural consequences of this infection than we originally thought,’ says Lee Gehrke, a molecular biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.”

Anecdotal thread: I’ve seen the eye doctor yearly since I was 7-years-old—I had no issues beyond nearsightedness. I’ve had Covid twice since 2020, & now I have Meibomian gland dysfunction & optic neuritis. A family member now has myriad eye complications. Friends have new eye diagnoses. Thread:
Histopathology and SARS-CoV-2 Cellular Localization in Eye Tissues of COVID-19 Autopsies

Retinal tissue and microvasculature loss in COVID-19 infection
Retinal tissue & microvasculature loss in COVID19 infection: Retinal volume was signif⬇️in outer 3 mm of macula in severe COVID19 group (p = 0.02). Total retinal vessel density was signif⬇️in severe COVID-19 vs normal/ mild COVID19 (p = 0.004 & 0.0057).
Histopathology and SARS-CoV-2 Cellular Localization in Eye Tissues of COVID-19 Autopsies
Autopsies have previously evidenced SARS viral persistence in gastrointestinal tissues including ocular tissues. This study detected SARS RNA in ocular fluids/tissue in 61% of cases; cornea 42%, horoid/sclera 50%, lens 53%, retina 35%, optic nerve 59%.

The #longcovid sleep stuff was interesting - thanks to all who shared ideas - it all helps.
How about eyes folks?
Since covid, have you noticed:
- Deterioration in your vision
- Dryness
- Sensitivity to brightness
- Pain
- Flashes, floaters etc.
