🦠 A recent study has linked a rise in cases of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN), a rare eye condition that affects vision, to COVID-19. AMN causes sudden, sometimes lasting, vision impairment, often appearing as dark spots in the central or peripheral vision.

😷 Researchers have observed a connection between increased AMN cases and both COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Though AMN is uncommon, understanding these potential links helps eye specialists and patients stay informed about symptoms to watch for after COVID-19 exposure.
