Adults at higher risk for vision problems after COVID-19, study finds - theold - 20-04-2022
April 14 (UPI) -- The risk for potentially vision-threatening eye conditions among adults is up to 50% higher in the six months after COVID-19 infection than it is in those who avoid the virus, a study published Thursday found.
However, these eye-related complications, which include clots in the main artery supplying blood to the eyes or similar blockages in the veins that drain blood from the retina, still are "rare," the researchers said in an article published Thursday by JAMA Ophthalmology.

Depends on the type of eye problems. If cataracts, easily cured and I think "nobody will care or blink an eyelid".
If glaucoma then really bad as it leads to blindness. That I think a lot of people "will care".

Glaucoma cannot be cured. But so far, those I know of, male and female, still maintain their eye sights.

I knew of two that had partial blindness. Cannot be cured. Can only try to stabilise as much as possible.
