Large multicenter study published in Nature finds “individuals with COVID-19 vaccination had a higher risk of all forms of retinal vascular occlusion in 2 years after vaccination, with an overall hazard ratio of 2.19.” Additionally, individuals with first and second dose of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 had “significantly increased risk of retinal vascular occlusion 2 years following vaccination.” Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are associated with several ocular manifestations.
