New coronavirus can infect the eyes as well as the lungs
I had "pink eye" for months after I recovered from my mystery illness (possibly covid-19, but I'll likely never know.) My doctor explained it away as "allergies" and prescribed claritin and eye drops, but neither of them worked to reduce the redness. It's only been these past few weeks that they don't appear quite so red, or I stopped looking at them in the mirror. I hope that's as bad as it gets. The patient in the article wasn't so lucky.
Both of them sick.....I'm thinking Karma is my gawd!
