Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has been a rapidly emerging global health concern since December 2019. Unprecedented efforts have been made to produce vaccines, which have proven to be successful. Areas covered This is a narrative review of the known ocular side effects related to the COVID-19 vaccines. Relevant literature was identified up to January 2022. Herein, reports of several side effects after immunization with COVID-19 vaccines, such as corneal graft rejection, ocular herpes simplex virus reactivation, scleritis, anterior and intermediate uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, panuveitis, multifocal choroiditis, toxoplasma retinochoroiditis, central serous retinopathy, branch/central retinal vein occlusion, paracentral acute middle maculopathy, arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, third nerve palsy, superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis, and Tolosa–Hunt syndrome, are reviewed and presented. Expert opinion Our knowledge regarding vaccination-related adverse events during the COVID-19 pandemic is growing. Ocular side effects are very rare overall and can often be treatable and preventable. Vaccinations remain strongly recommended by experts due to their efficacy in decreasing the disease burden. It is of note that establishing a casual relationship between vaccines and side effects is not possible yet and the possibility of coincidence should be considered.

COVID-19疫苗的眼部副作用

自2019年12月以来，COVID-19大流行已成为迅速出现的全球卫生问题。为生产疫苗作出了前所未有的努力，疫苗已被证明是成功的。本文是对已知与COVID-19疫苗相关的眼部副作用的叙述性综述。相关文献的检索截止到2022年1月。本文报道了COVID-19疫苗免疫后的几种副作用，如角膜移植排斥反应、眼部单纯疱疹病毒再激活、巩膜炎、前、中间葡萄膜炎、多发性消失性白点综合征、急性带状隐匿性外视网膜病变、全葡萄膜炎、多灶性脉络膜炎、弓形虫视网膜脉络膜炎、中枢性浆液性视网膜病变、视网膜分支/中央静脉闭塞、中央旁急性中黄斑病变、动脉前缺血性视神经病变、视神经炎，第三神经麻痹，眼上静脉血栓形成，和托洛萨-亨特综合征，回顾和介绍。我们对COVID-19大流行期间与疫苗接种相关的不良事件的了解正在增加。总的来说，眼部副作用非常罕见，通常是可以治疗和预防的。专家们仍然强烈建议接种疫苗，因为它们能有效地减轻疾病负担。值得注意的是，目前还不可能在疫苗和副作用之间建立偶然的关系，应考虑巧合的可能性。

期刊介绍： The worldwide problem of visual impairment is set to increase, as we are seeing increased longevity in developed countries. This will produce a crisis in vision care unless concerted action is taken. The substantial value that ophthalmic interventions confer to patients with eye diseases has led to intense research efforts in this area in recent years, with corresponding improvements in treatment, ophthalmic instrumentation and surgical techniques. As a result, the future for ophthalmology holds great promise as further exciting and innovative developments unfold.
