A woman reportedly endured an 'acute glaucoma attack' – a sudden marked increase in eye pressure – while recovering from COVID-19.

Research suggests the coronavirus can enter a patient’s eyes, even lingering after they test negative for the infection.

Boris Johnson’s chief adviser faced a backlash after it emerged he drove 260 miles from his home in London to his parent’s farm in Durham in March, while his wife had coronavirus symptoms.Cummings claimed he was considering returning to London, but his wife suggested they first go on a shorter drive to the beauty spot Barnard Castle to test his vision, which he says was affected by a suspected coronavirus infection.

After testing positive for the coronavirus, she was treated via antiviral drugs and supplemental oxygen, despite not having severe symptoms.On 28 February, however, the woman developed persistent pain and reduced vision in her left eye. Three days later, the same symptoms occurred in her right eye. This protein was not found within the eye tissue of a control patient, who had never tested positive for the coronavirus.

This is less likely than ACE2 binding, however, due to the woman testing negative for the virus at the time of her eye symptoms, they added.
