It sure does. Mines a bit unique afaik though.
I was diagnosed with a swollen optic nerve a few weeks after getting Covid when I realized my vision was going dark in one of my eyes.
They did an mri to rule out any other causes and concluded it was from Covid.
Over then next few months the swelling of the nerve went away but the bottom 1/4 of my vision in that eye is still dark due to the nerve being damaged from it.
Theres been a number of other documented cases of this happening from Covid.
Wow, I'm really sorry that happened to you. I hope you can reasonably expect now that it won't get worse, at least?
Yep! As long as I don’t get Covid again?
It happened over a year ago and my doctor says there’s been no change, and to not expect it to get better either.
In my slightly covid unrelated case, intracranial tension changes cause very subtle sharpness/clearness vision changes. So look out for these things, there might be more problems associated with it! Like IIH, CSF leaks or venous stenosis. It can cause a wide variety of seemingly random neurological pressure changes. Beware of substances affecting it like caffeine, weed, fat-soluble thiamine and Lithium. These can reduce or induce serious problems especially if the intracranial pressure is unstable. And while these might possibly be useful, be aware it is poorly understood overall and can cause damage.
