Eye health can reflect one’s overall physical condition, and recent studies have indicated a significant connection between COVID-19 and changes in retinal blood vessels. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals have been affected by various long-COVID symptoms, especially concerning cardiovascular issues.
