The Russian ophthalmologist and expert in the Health Committee of the Russian State Duma, Dr. Tatiana Shilova is at risk of losing sight completely as a result of infection with the Corona virus.
According to the doctor, treatment in this case will be required immediately, as in the case of a stroke or heart attack.
Covid can cause vision problems, even complete loss of vision. This is due to the fact that the Corona virus infects the vessels of the eyes. This was stated by her in an interview she gave to the Ura.ru electronic portal.
According to the doctor, if the main central stem of the eye is damaged, the person loses the sense of light, but if only the trunk branch is exposed to the disease, he can lose sight partially, according to “rt”.
