“…There were no reports of arteritic AION associated with COVID-19 infection in the literature. PION is a diagnosis of exclusion and was reported in 2 patients with recent COVID-19 infection 103,104 . They presented with acute painless vision loss and relative afferent pupillary defect with no optic disc edema.…”

“…PION is a diagnosis of exclusion and was reported in 2 patients with recent COVID-19 infection. 103,104 They presented with acute painless vision loss and relative afferent pupillary defect with no optic disc edema. The VF showed nonspecific loss in one patient and neuroimaging did not reveal any lesions or optic nerve changes in both patients with presumed PION.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was one of the most devastating public health issues in recent decades. The ophthalmology community is as concerned about the COVID-19 pandemic as the global public health community is, as COVID-19 was recognized to affect multiple organs in the human body, including the eyes, early in the course of the outbreak. Ophthalmic manifestations of COVID-19 are highly variable and could range from mild ocular surface abnormalities to potentially sight and life-threatening orbital and neuro-ophthalmic diseases. Furthermore, ophthalmic manifestations may also be the presenting or the only findings in COVID-19 infections. Meanwhile, global vaccination campaigns to attain herd immunity in different populations are the major strategy to mitigate the pandemic. As novel vaccinations against COVID-19 emerged, so were reports on adverse ophthalmic reactions potentially related to such. As the world enters a post-pandemic state where COVID-19 continues to exist and evolve as an endemic globally, the ophthalmology community ought to be aware of and keep abreast of the latest knowledge of ophthalmic associations with COVID-19 and its vaccinations. This review is a summary of the latest literature on the ophthalmic manifestations of COVID-19 and the adverse ophthalmic reactions related to its vaccinations.
