London - Sana
A recent British study revealed symptoms related to the eyes that appear in people with Covid 19.
And according to the British Express newspaper, the study conducted at the Center for Ophthalmology Consultants in London indicated that three symptoms were recorded, namely light sensitivity, conjunctivitis and itchy eyes, which appeared in people with Corona virus.
The ophthalmologist at the center, Ali Mirza, explained that those infected with the virus suffer from light sensitivity and headaches, and feel pain in the eyes when suddenly lighting a dark place or moving from dark places to lit ones.
Mirza added that inflammation of the eyes is a symptom of the less common Corona virus, but only the diagnosis is able to distinguish whether it is an indication of infection with Covid 19 or that it is just a conjunctivitis virus.
The ophthalmologist indicated that the three aforementioned symptoms associated with the eyes should disappear once recovered from the virus, advising patients who suffer these symptoms to replace glasses instead of contact lenses during their Covid-19 infection.
