Abstract
The most common eye disease associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is conjunctivitis. COVID-19 also predisposes to other manifestations and complications in the organ of vision, often very unusual or not suspected of viral etiology. Since patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a higher risk of thromboembolic complications, they may experience such far-reaching consequences as, for example, occlusion of a vein or central retinal artery. The paper presents cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection with ophthalmic symptoms.
