Abstract:
A 13-year-old boy developed painless diminution of vision in left eye 15 days after taking first dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (Corbevax). Fundus and fluorescein angiography revealed central retinal vein occlusion in the left eye. Blood investigations were noncontributory. He was administered three doses of pulse corticosteroids followed by a tapering dose of oral corticosteroids. Retinal vascular occlusion can occur following COVID-19 vaccination in children, and early and aggressive systemic anti-inflammatory therapy can be helpful.
