Yesterday, my dad called me to check in and told me my mom lost vision in one of her eyes for almost 30 seconds on Sunday.
They didn't go to urgent care because everything else was "normal," but she would go see an ophthalmologist this week. I was obviously very concerned they didn't go see someone right away and made this clear to my dad.
I told him she needs to see a neurologist, and a hematologist to check for blood clots since Covid is shown to damage the vascular system. I explained her loss of vision could have been a mini stroke. I also told him they need to emphasize that she's just had a covid infection because there's tests that can be done.
He replied, "That's a good point. Ididn't even think about how this could be caused by Covid."
