1Īs COVID-19 pandemic is still going, on new symptoms, signs and post-infection complications become apparent. 14–16 The published reports of the ocular manifestations caused by COVID-19 showed different incidence, but generally it was low. 6–8 This may include conjunctivitis, 9–11 keratitis, 12 episcleritis 13 and retinal hemorrhage or cotton wool spots. 2–5 The virus can affect the eye in several ways and ocular manifestations have a wide range. 1 Beside the typical respiratory manifestations of COVID-19, other body systems including the eye are now known to be affected by SARS CoV virus as well. They are the SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV. Three members of the corona virus family can cause severe respiratory illness that may lead to death. Keywords: COVID-19, conjunctivitis, orbital cellulitis, retinal vein occlusion, papillophlebitis Recovery from the main disease does not guarantee eye safety, especially in high-risk patients. All of the observed ophthalmological implications occurred either during the course of the disease (concurrent) or after recovery, except for the fungal orbital cellulitis which occurred only after recovery.Ĭonclusion: COVID-19 could cause different eye manifestations. Among the entire patients, the most common ophthalmological presentation was conjunctivitis in 111 patients (26.1%), followed by neuro-retinal affection in 9 (2.1%), secondary fungal orbital cellulitis in 6 (1.4%), episcleritis in 3 (0.7%) and keratitis in 2 (0.5%) patients. One hundred and thirty one (30.8%) patients had ophthalmological manifestations. Results: The mean age of the studied group was 41.73 ± 13.59, and 216 (50.8%) of them were males. The records were collected from three isolation hospitals in Gharbeya Governorate, Egypt. Methods: A retrospective study included the records of 425 COVID-19 patients, proved by positive PCR swabs. This study aimed to investigate the ophthalmological implications of COVID-19 either during the course of the disease or after recovery. Ophthalmology Department, Tanta University, Tanta, Egyptīackground and Aim: COVID-19 infection is a respiratory disease but it can have ophthalmological manifestations as well.
