Abstract
The data from 26 patients suffering from COVID-19 during the manifestation of the disease served as the material for the research. The features of pathological processes in various parts of the organ of vision have been demonstrated with the help of ophthalmologic and standard examination methods. The data received, together with information from the reference materials, allow us to draw conclusions about the damage to the structures of the organ of vision under COVID-19, depending on the concomitant somatic pathology and the state of homeostasis in the body. Emphasis is placed on mutiltifactory lesion of both the front segment and the vitreoretinal interface. Today, the variability of ophthalmic complications is demonstrated in the form of catarrhal conjunctivitis, vascular and inflammatory lesions, in the flesh to the phlegmon of the orbit and thrombosis of the carotid-cavernous sinus, which is a frightful and life-threatening condition. In the light of the foregoing, it can be concluded that today the organ of vision is a target organ under COVID-19. Thus, ophthalmologists are required to develop a unified classification for ophthalmic complications under COVID-19, which facilitates the effective management and pathogenetic targeted correct therapy.
