Purpose: The aim of this study was to elucidate a rare corneal association of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Although cases of corneal involvement after vaccination have been reported, we present the first case of Thygeson superficial punctate keratitis (TSPK) linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: This study is a case report.
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial and complex disease of the ocular surface, with a high prevalence in adults. We systematically reviewed efficacy and safety data from published articles reporting results from prospective, controlled trials of topical ophthalmic drugs for DED. PubMed was searched for articles from January 1997 to October 2017.
