Popis: To describe a case of anterior scleritis related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines appear safe; however vaccination has triggered thromboembolic events in predisposed patients.A retrospective case report of anterior scleritis in a woman following administration of both ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine doses was studied by complete ophthalmologic examination and complementary tests.The patient has overcome SARS-CoV-2 infection a year prior. Ancillary tests including autoimmune and infectious diseases were negative. The chronology between ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine and the sequential episodes of scleritis may have a cause-and-effect relationship.Ophthalmologists may be aware of scleritis as an ocular manifestation following ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine, in otherwise healthy patients.
