The SARS-CoV-2 infection manifests with diverse clinical manifestations, with severity potentially influenced by the viral variant. COVID-19 has also been shown to impact ocular microcirculation in some patients, but whether this effect varies by viral lineage remains unclear. This prospective study compared clinical features and ocular parameters assessed via optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infections during the dominance of two distinctive viral lineages, Alpha (B.

Article Synopsis
  • The review evaluates the importance of using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to assess the radial peripheral capillary (RPC) network in patients with COVID-19 confirmed by PCR tests.
  • It highlights how factors like hypoxia, inflammation, and a hypercoagulable state negatively impact the RPC network, showing decreased parameters both early in the infection and months later.
  • The study suggests that OCTA should be used in COVID-19 patients to monitor ocular function and potential adverse effects on the optic nerve and retina, calling for ongoing assessments.
