A comprehensive overview of published ocular side effects potentially associated with COVID-19 vaccination
Ocular phenomena post-COVID-19 vaccination may occur via an immune response elicited by the vaccine
COVID-19 vaccine-induced ocular (CVIO) adverse events could resemble the ocular findings in some COVID-19 patients
The ocular adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines have a remarkably low incidence especially when considering the extremely large numbers of people that have been inoculated worldwide
It is often easily treated, and the worst cases are still not as bad as having the COVID-19 infection
This review could be beneficial to practicing ophthalmologists and clinicians in identifying patients who may be at a higher risk of ocular inflammation so that protocols for close monitoring and education of the patients at risk can be designed and implemented
