The COVID-19 pandemic left millions of people suffering physical and mental effects of the virus, from cardiovascular damage to headaches to brain fog. An increasing number of studies show that the virus may also affect eye health, causing symptoms such as dry eyes and blurred vision.
Approximately 1 in 10 people exposed to COVID-19 experience at least one eye problem, according to a study published in the January–March, 2021 issue of the Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research.
