What they found: 
The researchers studied about 500,000 COVID-19 patients to see if they developed clots in the veins or arteries of the retina, according to the study published on Thursday in JAMA Ophthalmology.

Within six months, 65 of the patients had a retinal vein occlusion, which is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood from the retina of your eye.

The clots were common in patients who had other conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
However, clot risk was not associated with a severe coronavirus infection.

Yes, but: The researchers said it’s impossible to prove that COVID-19 caused the clot, but there’s a simple association.

The bigger picture: There have been some connections between the coronavirus and eye-related issues.

Just recently, a new study from the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that there is an increase of risk for dry eye disease (DED) for those infected by the coronavirus.

These patients with the DED condition often had blurred vision, followed by itching, pain and burning sensations, per South China Morning Post.

Other symptoms included tearing, discharge and redness, as I wrote for the Deseret News.

Can happen anywhere the blood flows
just looking at at first low magnifications at the shapes of the blood cells will alarm u.
increasing u will get to see matters relating to magnetism and others matter relating to why they happen
Of cos u must be highly competent.
Even the computer screen can give matter relating to relative size and their effects.

BA.1 could be milder but BA.2 is a ?
