Sudden onset of decreased vision following Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 infection: a case report

Abstract

We described a 52-year-old male patient with COVID-19 who had sudden decreased vision in his left eye in the second week of his illness. No occlusion thrombotic vein or hemorrhagic spots in retina had been identified in ophthalmoscopy procedures, clinical examination and optical coherence tomography. In 1 month his vision became normal without any treatment. We could not find the exact mechanisms of one-sided decreased vision in the COVID-19 patient, but this problem should be considered by physicians because of the importance of loss of vision.
