- Doctors treating COVID-19 patients might have discovered another disturbing coronavirus symptom that might appear in some patients.
- Three people treated for COVID-19 at the same hospital system in New York developed a serious eye condition that led to the loss of eyesight in two people, with the third dying of COVID-19 complications.
- The patients developed keratitis and then endophthalmitis, a very rare eye condition progression.
- Researchers can’t say for certain whether COVID-19 caused the eye problems or whether it’s a coincidence, but they can’t rule out COVID-19 as a risk factor either.
As the coronavirus pandemic rages on, doctors treating COVID-19 patients report all sorts of unusual COVID-19 symptoms that are hardly what many expect to experience after the infection. A recent study showed that persistent hiccups might be a very rare symptom indicative of COVID-19.
Other patients suffering from the Long COVID version of the illness or persisting symptoms after the virus is cleared from the system, reporting the falling of teeth without any pain or bleeding. And some patients developed diabetes following the infection. Ophthalmologists now warn that COVID-19 might cause a severe eye infection that could lead to significant complications, including the loss of sight.
