Covid19 Shots and Vision Problems

The Travesties Just Keep Coming…

The problems manifesting after the Covid shots just keep piling up. I’ve already written about myocarditis, Lewy body dementia, rubbery blood clots, skin necrosis, infertility, and the loss of smell.

As if those weren’t bad enough, I’ve now come across articles that detail what the covid shots due to vision. At least 200 cases of uveitis after the mRNA or vector‑borne vaccines have been reported as per the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The UK equivalent of VAERS (MHRA) had 132 cases of blindness and 6,682 reports of eye disorders after COVID19 shots.

The ‘ocular manifestations’ occurred on the eyelid, cornea, conjunctiva or internally on the retina, uvea, nerve, and vessel. The abnormalities were found to occur up to 42 days after vaccination. Vaccine-induced immunologic response could be the cause.

THIS WEEK:

An article published in 2022, “Ocular Complications Following Vaccination for COVID-19: A One-Year Retrospective,” includes this:

In total, 58 articles were included in the review:

• 28 were case reports

• 22 were letters to the editor

• 5 were case series

• 3 were photo essays

In when the doses of the vaccine were known, 45 cases of ocular disturbances were after the first dose; 35 were after the second dose and one after a booster dose.

From this series, the adverse events were divided into the following categories: eyelid, orbital, corneal, uveitis, retinal, vascular, neuro-ophthalmological, ocular motility disorders and unspecified. In a different paper, published in August 2021, researchers summarized findings from 16 publications.

Specific Disorders:

Perhaps the most disconcerting were the adverse events associated with the retina. The retina is the thin layer of cells that line the very back of your eyeball. These cells convert light from energy photons into electrical signals which are relayed to the optic nerve and then are transmitted to your brain. The images become what we actually “see.”

In this review, 14 of 45 patients had visual acuity problems after a Covid19 shot. Several developed acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN), a disease with vision changes without any known treatment; the changes are often permanent. AMN is characterized by a sudden onset of paracentral scotoma (black blind spots) in one or both eyes. In a case report of a healthy 23-year-old woman, the blind spots were still present 15 months later.

Researchers have also found other, equally devastating eye conditions after an mRNA-containing shot. In a study conducted over multiple sites in Israel, 21 people were identified who developed acute uveitis within 1 to 14 days after receiving the first Pfizer shot. Or within 1 to 30 days after receiving their second shot.

In a separate case report, an 18yo girl developed bilateral uveitis 5-days after her second Covid19 shots. The inflammation subsided and vision returned after many months of topical steroid drop treatment.

Uveitis, or inflammation of the uvea (which consists of the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid [blood vessel layer of the globe] ). Uveitis is one of the most common types of eye inflammation seen by eye doctors.
