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.
