Abstract
Systemic coronavirus disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has had several ocular consequences. Many vaccines have been developed against the disease, with adverse events being reported as well. Various ocular adverse events secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have also featured in literature in recent times. This review features the reported corneal-related effects of COVID infection and vaccination. These include direct effects on corneal grafts and unilateral or bilateral corneal melts. The compilation of reported experiences from across the world in this systematic review will help clinicians recognize the possible presentations, pathogenesis, and management of the same.
