A healthy 12-year-old female individual received a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 and reported visual symptoms 2 days later, with bilateral blurry vision, large blue paracentral scotomata, and a migraine without a scintillating scotoma. On clinical examination, visual acuity measured 20/70?+-1 in the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye, while she previously had visual acuity of 20/25 in each eye on examination 8 years prior. Motility, visual fields, and anterior segment examination results were normal. Dilated fundus examination revealed subtle reddish geographic irregularities at the level of the retinal pigment epithelial at a nasal juxtafoveal location in both eyes. The optic discs, vessels, and periphery were normal. Near-infrared (IR) imaging highlighted the irregularities in both eyes ().
