  • Purpose: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause conjunctivitis in up to 31.6% of patients. Additionally, retinal findings compatible with retinal microvascular ischemia have also been associated with coronavirus disease in asymptomatic patients. We describe a case of bilateral retinal changes compatible with microangiopathy occurring during the late phase of COVID-19. Case report: A 50-year-old man with bilateral pneumonia and positive polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 developed an arcuate visual field defect in his left eye. Funduscopy revealed multiple, bilateral cotton-wool spots without haemorraghes. OCT-angiography revealed multifocal areas of retinal microvascular ischemia in the superficial plexus, the largest of which corresponded to the arcuate scotoma observed in the automated perimetry. Conclusion: Visual field defects due to retinal microangiopathy can occur during the late phase of COVID-19. Vascular changes observed in the retina may mimic what may be happening in other, less-accessible organs.
