The whole world waiting for the elimination of COVID-19. This is a short series of three cases that presented with optic neuritis. On further inquiry, all had received the Covishield vaccine within 5-12 days just before the presentation, with no history of COVID-19 positive RT-PCR. The range of age was 27-48 years. All patients improved after pulse steroid therapy and are still under follow-up. After being plagued by COVID-19 for nearly 2 years, the whole world wishes for little more than complete eradication of the disease. Our country commenced the much-awaited vaccination drive from Jan 2021. Ophthalmic manifestations have appeared in many forms post-COVID-19, among which neuro-ophthalmic manifestations are infrequent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a short case series from our country presenting with optic neuritis after COVID-19 vaccination, without any sign of active infection.

A 45-year-old healthy African-American man experienced 2 months of right-eye soreness followed by acute onset of right painful vision loss with binocular, oblique diplopia. Visual acuity was count fingers OD and 20/20 OS. He had a partial, right, pupil-involving cranial nerve III palsy with a right relative afferent pupillary defect and optic disc edema with tortuous vessels.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current knowledge and recent findings on different pain and headache presentations associated with Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD) disease.
Recent Findings: MOGAD is an inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting mostly the central nervous system, presenting with optic neuritis, transverse myelitis and other forms of inflammatory demyelination. Pain and headache in MOGAD have been recognized more recently and acute and chronic forms of pain can occur in both the adult and pediatric population.

We report a case of optic neuritis (ON) secondary to autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in a patient with concomitant antibodies to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), gamma-aminobutyric acid-B receptor (GABAR), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). The patient exhibited a constellation of symptoms, including vision loss, seizures, mental and behavioral disorders, cognitive impairment, and speech abnormalities. At the two-year follow-up, the patient's symptoms had abated entirely.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a neuro-inflammatory condition affecting adults and children. The presentations vary and include acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, optic neuritis or transverse myelitis. Optic neuritis associated with anti-MOG antibodies is typically bilateral, anterior and initially severe but usually resolves quickly and completely.
