The specialist explained that the smallest vessels are in the eyes, so ischemic insufficiency in the form of thrombosis can lead to complete loss of vision.
“If the central main trunk of the eye is damaged, then the person loses even light perception. If there is a branch, then there is a partial loss of vision, ”said the Russian doctor.
 
The problem, according to the expert, can arise both during the period of the disease and during the post-covid syndrome. It is necessary to respond to it within a few hours, by analogy with heart attacks and strokes.
