Weird Covid Symptom: peripheral flashes of light

Posted by jwatzig @jwatzig, Aug 11, 2021

Hello, after ten days of bad Covid, I started seeing light flashes and light balls off the side of my head. Day and night. Very scary. Anyone else hear of this??

Hi, 3 month ego, on October 2022 I had covid, and 8 days later until now, I am seeing moving ‘ *balls of light’* *flashes* in the peripheral of both eyes, every hour or so all day long, even when my eyes closed.
I consulted different specialist doctors from different medicine aspects – Neurologist, Ophthalmologist and Neuro ophthalmology. I did MRI, MRA, MRV, EEG, PET CT. the results show that there is no problem.
I want to ask if you still see those ‘balls of light’ flashes ? did you meet any doctor that found cure to those flashes ? does someone understand the connection between covid 19 to eye flashes?

@fanger same thing happening to me. I had Covid Sept 2024 and gradually began flashes of lights. Then had Covid again last September and began experiencing flashes of lights when eyes open or closed and lights in my peripheral throughout the day along with vision flickering and floaters. It’s enough to drive a person insane.
