I had Covid in March 2020. A few months later in June 2020 my Long Covid symptoms began to develop. The most debilitating symptom has been light sensitivity for both sunlight and artificial. When I try to read electronics, symptoms of dizziness/nausea and occipital migraines begin in my right eye. I have been to Neuro ophthalmologists and multiple optometrists who all state my eyes look healthy, but my symptoms are similar to someone with post concussive syndrome, or basically brain damage. All the symptoms I experience aside from vision changes are neurological.
I’ve been prescribed multiple medications/eyedrops, and even vision therapy for several months. Unfortunately none provided any improvement, and they are now just focusing on ways to assist me with coping until more research is done to come up with answers. I’ve been able unable to work for over two year, and am still fighting to get disability. I so hope for you that it doesn’t follow the same path. Best of luck to you.

I too had similar vision deficits similar to post concussion. My optometrist prescribed specific glasses with tinted lenses and prisms. My symptoms changed over 2 years and I’m on my third pair. Cont with vision exercises. I still get dizzy and nauseous. My peripheral vision is still poor and I still have a larger than normal blind spot. Training has helped my left eye see again. I use the glasses with contacts for reading(I just started reading in April), grocery store( they reduce visual stimulation) and computer.

Did you try Autologous Serum Tears?

I am just seeing this now, but we have very similar symptoms. I was wondering if anything has helped you yet?
