The current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV2 has generated an urgency to understand the implications

Objective: To determine whether retinal abnormalities can be identified on Optical Computed Tomography (OCT) in
convalescent patients following COVID-19 infection.
Methodology: This is a prospective, case controlled study that recruited COVID-19 patients who were admitted to the United

refraction-matched healthy individuals that were not infected with COVID.. View More»
