Abstract: Vaccination remains one of the most effective interventions in human history against different viral infections. Definitly the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine in preventing COVID-19 are well established. Reports of ocular adverse effects after COVID-19 vaccinations have emerged simultaneously. The ocular adverse effects may appear on the eyelid, cornea and sclera, retina, uvea, nerve and vessel. Clinical manifestations include keratitis, uveitis, retinitis, nerve palsy and vascular obstruction. The review summarizes ocular adverse effects possibly associated with COVID-19 vaccination,in order to raise our concern for the ocular manifestations after COVID-19 vaccination.
