ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of combined central retinal vein and artery occlusion that evolved into ischemic optic neuropathy following the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination.METHODS:
Patient was followed with optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and Humphrey visual field.RESULTS:
Patient was able to recover vision from count fingers to 20/30 on a combination of aflibercept, steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, a diuretic (acetazolamide), antiplatelet agents (aspirin and pentoxifylline), and an anticoagulant (apixaban).CONCLUSION:
COVID-19 vaccination may be associated with a myriad of sight-threatening ocular thrombotic conditions, which may respond to a combination of anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant therapies.
