Resumen
PEREZ MOLINA, Elina Caridad y ENRIQUEZ PEREZ, Emily. Ophthalmological complications in patients with COVID.19. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.2 Epub 01-Abr-2023. ISSN 1029-3043.
Introduction:
COVID-19, a pandemic declared by the World Health Organization, affects not only the respiratory system but other systems and organs, for example the eyes.
Objective:
to characterize ocular manifestations of COVID-19 and their possible complications.
Methods:
an exhaustive analysis of the bibliography was carried out through SciELO, PubMed and Google Scholar search engines; a total of 55 articles were selected.
Conclusions:
COVID-19 has been clinically associated with mild conjunctivitis, which may be the first and only symptom of the disease, as well as retinal disorders, Kawasaki disease, neuro-ophthalmological complications, and in intensive care patients. Early detection of these conditions can directly influence the subsequent evolution of the patient.
