Abstract

Introduction: Concurrently with the administration of COVID-19 vaccine, adverse event following immunization (AEFI) began to be reported. Some reactions involve various systems of the human body, including the ocular system. Although uncommon, subconjunctival hemorrhage also can be found, as shown in this report. Case Report: We present a case of a 68-year-old woman with subconjunctival hemorrhage a couple hours before admission. Patient also came with complaints of sudden redness and pain in left eye. Two days prior, she had her first dose of Moderna vaccine. Left eye examination revealed hemorrhage on conjunctiva with normal visual acuity. Other ocular examinations couldn’t be done due to the lack of facilities and severe pain. No other symptoms were mentioned. Patient was advised to be referred to an ophthalmologist, but she refused. After a month, the patient reportedly experienced similar complaints after receiving the second dose of Moderna vaccine. another redness and discomfort in her left eye. Her left eye was red, itched, and swollen. However, she still refused to go to an ophthalmologist. Oral analgesic, oral antihistamine, and artificial tears were given. The symptoms were completely resolved in a couple days. Conclusion: Subconjunctival hemorrhage may occur as mRNA Vaccine AEFI specifically in patients with underlying disease, however further research is needed.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Functional Visual Loss (FVL) is decreased visual acuity and/or altered visual fields without any associated organic pathology and is considered within the spectrum of malingering. It manifests as either simulating an ophthalmic disease or denying ophthalmic disease. Thorough history-taking and careful examination of the patient are essential in reaching the diagnosis. Case Illustration : A 17-year-old female came with complaints of a spinning headache, sudden and painless blurry vision in both eyes, double vision, and a history of syncope for the last two days. Ophthalmology examination revealed UCVA was 0.5/60 for both eyes with inconsistent answers from the patient. The confrontation test, light reflex, funduscopy, Humphrey visual test, OCT, and MRI were normal. Malingering was suspected and a psychiatric consultation was made. The patient was found to be a victim of bullying and had a history of visual hallucinations. The patient was then diagnosed with severe depression with psychotic signs. Discussion : Conclusion : FVL can be suspected when there is inconsistency in the results of some clinical basic tests. Despite the association between FVL and psychological problems like depression is complicated, this condition may occur in a bidirectional relationship in which depression leads to disability or contrarily. In conclusion, diagnosing visual problems in malingering patients can be challenging. Subjective and objective tests are needed to help practitioners confirm the malingering state of the patient. Practitioners also should be aware of the underlying risk of psychological problems among persons reporting visual function loss.
