Nagpur: Concerns have been contracted by terrible mucorikosis – the initial symptoms seen in the eyes, nose or teeth – among recovered covid patients have caused an increase in eye surface (OSI) detection and vasculitis retina (RV), the doctor said.
Some city eye specialists say patients with isolated at home report OSI (redness of the eye) while those recognized for Covid treatment generally suffer from RV (eye freezing).
The two disturbances were seen during the first wave too, but when a large number of infected people and many mucers, also known as black mushrooms, cases emerged, these two Covid Ophthalmic complications were twice this time.
The famous eye specialist from Gopal Arora, was observed that both of these disorders were generally seen in Ophthalmology and are currently related to other factors and not only covid.
“Dry eye syndrome has been known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome.
This is due to an increase in screen time.
Screening the eyes can produce several factors, with Covid to be one of them,” he said.
Other doctors say patients diagnose independently in the eyes as mukormycosis, which follows the diagnosis does not change into a case.
Retina Surgeon Dr.
Sandeep Anjankar said he had received patients with reddish complaints in the eye.
“Mostly, patients suffer from OSI or conjunctivitis.
But these symptoms are misdiagnosed into mucorikosis by patients themselves.
Retinal vasculitis or vascular occlusion (blockage of blood vessels, usually with lumps) occurs either because of the increase in inflammatory or coagulation factors,” he said.
Dr.
ANJANKAR added, “In 90% of cases, loss of vision can be reversed if the abnormality is detected early.” Doctor Doctor Consultant Dr.
Ashish Kamble said, “When a virus or new bacteria infects the body, sometimes cross-antigenicity can occur.
This means that the antigen of certain viruses imitate people who install the immune response in the body, including in the eyes most often presented as redness Eyes.
“He added that inflammation means the immune system is activated.
When inflammation occurs on the surface of the eye, the eye turns red.
“I used to see this in post-covid patients,” said DR KAMBLE.
Not only covid, it can happen after viral infection.
“It can be seen in every virus inflammation, even in bacterial infections such as TB too,” he said.
Regarding retinal occlusion, Dr.
Kamble said it was known that the freezing of the liver or the brain was a post-covid problem.
“The same type of clot is formed in eye vessels.
This is called vascular occlusion.
Sometimes, there are lumps in the arteries that look into the eye to the eye.
This is a bad situation because it can lead to loss of permanent vision.
Veins, which pump blood from the eyes, can also Get lumps.
In this case, vision is affected, but until some extent can be restored, “he said.
In the Mucor, arterial occlusion is found along with other complications such as drooping eyelids, diplopia (double vision) and proptosis (advantages and displacement of eyeballs).
It is very rare for mukormycosis causing vascular occlusion, said Dr.
Kamble.
