Abstract
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a Public Health Though COVID-19 is supposed to be primarily a disease of the respiratory system; it also has widespread implications on other systems as well. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the retinal implications of COVID-19. Methods: PubMed, PubMed Central, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched for peer-reviewed articles which aimed to delineate the retinal implications of COVID-19. Conclusions: Retinal abnormalities range from cotton wool spots and vein occlusion to retinal vasculitis in COVID-19 infection.
