Popis: Abstract A 57‐year‐old male known case of diabetes mellitus presented with gradually bilateral decreased vision accompanied by ocular pain two weeks after diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. The results of examination and imaging were indicative of bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and massive choroidal ischemia, which may be associated with SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced damages, including endothelial damage, hypercoagulable state, and hypoxia.
