Introduction:
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infection, that first
appeared in Wuhan, China. It has been well established that different
organs including the heart, kidney, pulmonary and gastrointestinal
systems might be involved during or post COVID-19 infection. A possible
reason is that the virus enters host cells through the
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) receptor and this receptor is
expressed by different human organs [1]. ACE 2 receptor is also
expressed in different parts of the eyes including the conjunctiva,
cornea, limbus, aqueous humor, and retina [2].
In addition, COVID-19-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in
children (MIS-C) can affect different organ systems including skin,
renal, cardiac, hematological, and gastrointestinal systems. But ocular
involvement is not still a part of the world health organization (WHO)
criteria or the Center for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for
MIS-C [3].
Whether uveitis or optic disk edema would be manifestations of acute
COVID-19 infection or they can occur as a part of COVID-19-associated
MIS-C is still unknown.
