Introduction
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly
contagious enveloped RNA virus that caused a global pandemic in December
2019. Although Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID- 19) was primarily found
to affect the respiratory and gastrointestinal system further studies
revealed the multiorgan organ invasion of the virus1.
Although the spectrum of ocular manifestations is not completely defined
several reports from anterior segment involvement such as conjunctival
hyperemia, chemosis, increased secretions, anterior uveitis to
retinitis, choroiditis, and optic neuropathy are available2,3. The SARS -CoV-2 infection may be asymptomatic or
paucisymptomatic with mild to moderate presentation of disease and some
individuals may present severe to critical disease. Therefore,
ophthalmologists may encounter asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic
individuals who presented ophthalmic manifestation of COVID-19
infection.
Herein, we present a case of a 57-year-old male with bilateral
non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and secondary
angle-closure glaucoma (SACG) due to choroidal hyperemia in a patient
with confirmed SARS-Cov2 infection.
