| C A S E REP ORTAn otherwise healthy 60-year-old man presented with an acute onset of right-eye visual loss and pain upon eye movement for 5 days. Six weeks before symptom onset, he was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, confirmed by the detection of SARS-CoV-2 on real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using a nasopharyngeal swab. At the time, his symptoms included fever, cough, and dyspnea for 3 days. His chest radiograph showed ground-glass opacity in both basal lungs. He was admitted to another hospital and received oral favipiravir (3600 mg/d) on day 1 and 1600 mg/d from day 2 to 5 along with prednisolone (60 mg/d).
