Ocular Complications Following Vaccination for COVID-19: A One-Year Retrospective

“…In another report, Pappaterra et al reported on an 81-year-old male who developed acute diplopia one day after receiving the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine [122]. Examination revealed limited adduction and infraduction OS only with normal motility OD.…”

Optic neuropathy after COVID-19 vaccination: Case report and systematic review

“…Separately, these events have included orbital ( Bayas et al, 2021 ), corneal ( Crnej et al, 2021 , Phylactou, Li and Larkin, 2021 ), uveitic ( Rabinovitch et al, 2021 , ElSheikh et al, 2021 ), neuro-ophthalmologic ( Elhusseiny et al, 2021 , Elnahry et al, 2021 ), retinal ( Bohler et al, 2021 , Book, Schmidt and Foerster, 2021 ), and thrombotic events ( Endo, Bahamon and Martinez-Pulgarin, 2021 ). Regarding neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations in particular, several cranial nerve palsies have been reported, including oculomotor ( Pappaterra, Rivera and Oliver, 2021 ), abducens ( Reyes-Capo, Stevens and Cavuoto, 2021 ), and facial (Bell's) nerve palsy ( Khouri, Roustit and Cracowski, 2021 , Ozonoff, Nanishi and Levy, 2021 , Shibli et al, 2021 , Wong et al, 2021 ). To date, a limited number of reports have been made of optic neuropathy following COVID-19 vaccination ( Elnahry et al, 2021 , Garcia-Estrada et al, 2021 , Girbardt et al, 2021 , Leber et al, 2021 , Nachbor et al, 2021 , Pawar et al, 2021 ), and a few of them have been designated as anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION); three non-arteritic (NAION) ( Garcia-Estrada et al, 2021 , Girbardt et al, 2021 , Nachbor et al, 2021 ), and one arteritic (AAION) ( Maleki et al, 2021 ).…”

Neuro-Ophthalmological Complications of the COVID-19 Vaccines: A Systematic Review

“…Pappaterra et al reported a case of oculomotor nerve palsy in an 81-year-old woman. The symptoms developed one day after the first dose of the Moderna vaccine and improved spontaneously to near-complete resolution after 11 days (29).…”

“…A total of 14 case reports and 2 case series have been selected for inclusion in the final report. Overall, 76 cases of post-COVID-vaccination adverse events have been reported, including ON (n = 61) (22–25), optic disc edema as atypical presentation of Guillain–Barre syndrome (n = 1 (26), arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION; n = 1) (27), abducens nerve palsy (n = 1) (28), oculomotor nerve palsy (n = 1) (29), Tolosa–Hunt syndrome (n = 1) (30), herpes zoster ophtalmicus (n = 2) (31), uveitis (n = 3) (32–34), acute macular neuroretinopathy (n = 2) (35), central serous retinopathy (n = 1) (36), acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR; n = 1) (27), and bilateral choroiditis (n = 1) (37).…”
