Description
Iliana Georganta and co-authors review optic neuritis cases that followed COVID-19 illness or vaccination. Their twenty twenty-three review gathers case reports and series from four databases. Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve that can blur or steal sight.
Sixty-eight studies qualified, split evenly between post-illness and post-vaccine cases. In all, ninety-three patients and one hundred twenty-five eyes were counted. The illness group held forty-two patients, a third of whom had both eyes hit. Pain was common, and sight loss was often deep at first read. Lab signs like oligoclonal bands were also tracked. The sum helps eye doctors spot and grade this rare event.
