A 54-year-old male patient applied to our clinic with a sudden and painless loss of vision in his right eye. He was suffering from COVID-19. His best-corrected visual acuity of the right eye was finger counting from 30 cm. The fundus examination revealed the presence of a ‘cherry-red spot’ appearance in the right eye. In optical coherence tomography imaging, hyper-reflectivity was observed in the inner retinal layers as well as increased retinal thickness in the right eye. In fundus fluorescein angiography, delayed arterial filling and prolonged arteriovenous transit time were observed in the right eye. The patient was diagnosed with central retinal artery occlusion after the COVID-19 infection. In this study, we report this case and its management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
