Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neuroscience

Context:

  • COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2022) affected individuals across all age groups.
  • Ocular complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection are increasingly recognized.
  • Limited systematic reviews exist on COVID-19's impact on the optic nerve and retina.

Purpose:

  • To identify and systematize medical conditions affecting the optic nerve and retina in COVID-19 patients.
  • To consolidate current knowledge on SARS-CoV-2-induced ocular pathologies.
  • To analyze findings from a comprehensive literature review.

Summary:

  • A theoretical documentary review analyzed 56 publications from major scientific databases.
  • Evidence confirms COVID-19 impacts the retina and optic nerve during acute and recovery phases.
  • Identified conditions include ischemic optic neuropathies, vascular occlusions, neuroretinitis, and inflammatory syndromes like MEWDS and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.

Impact:

  • Highlights the spectrum of ocular conditions associated with COVID-19.
  • Provides a foundation for understanding the neuro-ophthalmic sequelae of SARS-CoV-2.
  • Informs clinical awareness and diagnostic approaches for visual disturbances post-COVID-19.
