The Retina seems to be Unaffected in Long Covid

Sometimes a negative result is valuable.

Retinal evaluations occurred at an average of 15.2 ± 6.9 months post SARS-CoV-2 infection in PCS participants. Our findings revealed no significant differences between the PCS and control groups in the OCT-A parameters or RNFL and GCL thicknesses, indicating that no long-term damage ensued in the vascular bed or retinal layers within our cohort, providing a degree of reassurance for PCS patients.

What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?

This is a valuable imaging technique using light waves to get detailed information about the structure and composition of the retina.
