Abstract

Given the scarcity of data regarding ocular complications following COVID-19 vaccination, the approach toward patients with suggestive symptoms and established clinical practice is lacking. Herein, we report the first case of herpetic endotheliithis and secondary stromal keratitis following inactivated COVID-19 vaccination who experienced a relapse due to poor adherence.

Keywords: COVID‐19; HSV; endotheliitis; herpetic keratitis; vaccination.
