| description | We present a series of three covid positive cases of ages 7, 31, and 53 years, respectively. Among them, one patient had active symptoms of COVID-19, and two patients were in a recovery phase. All three cases presented to ophthalmology out patient department (OPD) with complaints of redness and pain. One of the cases had bilateral involvement, while the other two had unilateral involvement. On ocular examination, all three patients had BCVA 6/6 in both eyes. The anterior segment revealed circumcorneal congestion with moderate anterior chamber reaction. The rest of the anterior segment and fundus were within normal limits. Patients were started on topical steroids and improved symptomatically. Ophthalmic manifestations can develop at any stage of COVID-19 disease, conjunctivitis being the most common feature. Uveitis is a rarely documented manifestation, and ophthalmologists should be aware of this manifestation. |
