- Abstract
Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been documented to have a spectrum of neuro-ophthalmic manifestations. However, bilateral non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) post-COVID-19 has not been reported in the literature. We studied the case of a 45-year-old male who presented to our outpatient department (OPD) with bilateral blurring of vision following an episode of COVID-19, 1 month back. Examination and investigations were conclusive of a bilateral NAION. The patient was given a trial of oral steroids. However, the vision loss could not be recovered. Thus, through this case report, we would like to highlight the importance of a close follow-up of patients following COVID-19 infection to detect any sequelae.
