Article Synopsis
- - The case discusses a previously healthy middle-aged man who experienced multiple transient monocular visual loss attacks two weeks after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, with each episode lasting about one minute.
- - Medical tests showed no major abnormalities except for slightly elevated C-reactive protein levels, and fundus examination revealed vascular narrowing in the eye during these visual loss episodes.
- - It suggests a potential link between retinal vasospasm and the COVID-19 vaccination, possibly due to inflammation induced by the vaccine, marking it as the first documented case of this condition related to the vaccine.

Purpose: To determine the level of agreement between trained family physicians (FPs), general ophthalmologists (GOs), and a retinal specialist (RS) in the assessment of non-mydriatic fundus retinography in screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the primary health-care setting.
Methods: 200 Diabetic patients were submitted to two-field non-mydriatic digital fundus camera. The images were examined by four trained FPs, two GOs, and one RS with regard to the diagnosis and severity of DR and the diagnosis of macular edema.
