This systematic review summarizes the evidence on patients diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) secondary to COVID-19. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar from its inception till June 2021. From an initial 55 publications, 10 studies provided specific information on COVID-19 patients with CRVO. Studies described 10 patients, 60% were male and the mean age was 39.3 ± 11.6 years. Blurred vision (40%) and decreased vision (50%) were the most common presenting complain. Symptom onset ranged from 5 days to 6 weeks after initial complaint of fever. Laboratory results showed elevated inflammatory markers and D-dimers in 60% of patients included in our review. Common treatment options were intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, steroids, and anticoagulants. Traditional co-morbidities like diabetes mellites, hypertension, and morbid obesity (hyperlipidemia) were observed in only 3/10 patients. The prognosis was excellent as all patients saw improvement in their condition. Our findings highlight the importance of identifying CRVO as an important complication of COVID-19 infection. Thus, physicians should not overlook the likelihood of CRVO in patients with COVID-19 infection and offer prompt treatment.
