Summary:
Purpose: to present a series of clinical cases demonstrating the spectrum of ophthalmic pathology in patients who have undergone coronavirus infection (COVID-19). COVID-19 can potentially provoke or aggravate the course of autoimmune ophthalmopathology, infectious diseases, vascular occlusions. The considered clinical examples show the most common types of ophthalmopathology that develop on COVID-19 background. The information of the study confirms the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for the management of COVID-19 patients, regardless of the disease severity. The variety of ophthalmic diseases in COVID-19 patients indicates that the changes caused by the virus or accompanying this infection are due not only to its direct action, but also to the activation of latent diseases associated with hereditary or other predisposition. Taking into account the data of modern literature and our experience, we believe that the recognition of COVID-19 as the etiological factor of a number of eye diseases without convincing evidence can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. COVID-19 should be considered as the main etiological factor after excluding all other possible causes of eye diseases.
