Australia is one of the countries hailed as a winner in setting an international role model to effectively fight COVID. But from late June 2021, an increased number of cases have been reported that have caused the worst outbreak in the country due to the Delta variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the vaccination drive is giving hope, and as per the state report, around \u00beth of the Australian population in NSW has already been vaccinated last week. The goal is to vaccinate 70% of the population with the first dose of any vaccine (Pfizer, AstraZeneca, or Moderna).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms of Delta and Delta Plus are slightly different from long COVID. Besides the most common symptoms of cough, fever, or breathing issues, data reveals a significant number of patients suffering from various eye issues. Though most SARS-CoV-2 infected patients experience respiratory discomfort, unusual manifestations such as conjunctivitis and other ocular symptoms are also observed in some patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Of Sep 21, 2021, 88,710 instances of COVID-19 have been recorded in Australia with around 1,178 fatalities and about 19,478 active cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But indeed, there are cases reported, where the person suffering from COVID 19, complains about symptoms like red-eye, pink eye, blurry vision, or light sensitivity. Before reaching any conclusion, more research will be needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among many of the COVID patients, a runny nose, sore throat, and severe headache are the common symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when talking about how coronavirus affects the eye? the intensity of eye irritation should be considered. Sometimes, it may be due to seasonal allergies. It should be noted that Red-eyes, itchiness, and blurry vision<\/a> were existing before the Delta variant and COVID also. All in all, nobody other than doctors can tell whether the Delta variant affects eyes or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some COVID Ocular Symptoms:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the early stage of COVID, patients do not pay attention to eye problems instead feel are akin to the disease. But when those eye issues seem indefinite, then it could be a reason for worry. Looking at the past reports of COVID cases, it has been observed that in “Long COVID” (A stage in which COVID symptoms last more than a month), patients observe some ocular symptoms including. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
