The recent coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant mortality and morbidity, affecting patients of all ages. COVID-19 affects various tissues and systems in the body, including the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, COVID-19 has rarely affected the eyes and caused optic neuritis.
