Abstract

Acute macular neuroretinopathy after COVID-19 infection or vaccination SARS-CoV-19 is an RNA virus that causes COVID-19. This disease can lead to a pro-inflammatory status and hypercoagulability, resulting in systemic complications such as respiratory failure, myocardial infarction or deep vein thrombosis. The most commonly described ophthalmic complication of COVID-19 is conjunctivitis, but retinal vascular manifestations such as isolated cotton-wool spots, retinal microangiopathy and retinal vein occlusions have also been reported. This article describes 4 patients between the ages of 19 and 29 who developed acute macular neuroretinopathy, a rare retinal microvascular disease, shortly after a COVID-19 infection or vaccination.
