Abstract
A woman reported decreased vision in the right eye since hospitalization for COVID-19. Vision in the right eye was 6/18 and in the left eye was counting fingers. Her left eye had cataract and right eye was pseudophakic with earlier documented good recovery. In the right eye, she had branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) with macular edema documented on optical coherence tomography (OCT). It was suspected that it might be an ocular manifestation of COVID-19 which had not been reported and had worsened. An overdose of antibiotics or remdesivir might also be responsible for the same. She was advised anti-VEGF injections and was kept under treatment.
