Hi Folks

Do you know anyone who tested positive also saw a decline in their eye vision?

I recently tested positive and now also seeing a decline in my eye sight.  However, I do wear glasses normally but do you think it has something to do with the pandemic or am I being paranoid?

Thank You

Realistically, due to the numbers of total infections you can find a rough correlation with just about anything, however it does not indicate causation. 

As tiredness usually has a temporary impact on people's sight and as an infection usually makes people more tired as their body has to fight it off then I would suspect that is the most likely cause. If you are worried then get your eyes tested (once you no longer have Covid), it could also be a general year on year deterioration in your sight and you have noticed it, it could be tiredness, it could be nothing.

Dry eyes was mentioned as a symptom of Long Covid on Jeremy Vine after 1pm on Radio 2 today.
