COVID-19 is a global pandemic with over 600 million cases worldwide and over 1.7 million cases in New Zealand to date. The most recent spread of Omicron variant saw widespread infection across the country that was unable to be controlled like the initial Alpha or Delta variants. There is limited information on ocular complications of COVID 19. In our case, there was a close relationship between time of COVID-19 infection and acute visual changes including ongoing scotomas (blind spots). This report explores a case of a young female with positive visual phenomena following COVID-19 infection, with the diagnosis of acute macula neuroretinopathy.
新冠病毒病(COVID-19)是一场全球大流行疾病,迄今为止全球病例超过6亿例,新西兰病例超过170万例。最近奥密克戎变种的传播导致该国广泛感染,这种情况无法像最初的阿尔法或德尔塔变种那样得到控制。关于COVID-19眼部并发症的信息有限。在我们的病例中,COVID-19感染时间与包括持续性暗点(盲点)在内的急性视力变化之间存在密切关系。本报告探讨了一例COVID-19感染后出现阳性视觉现象的年轻女性病例,诊断为急性黄斑神经视网膜病变。
