A 15-year-old girl presented with history of headache and bilateral blurred vision of five days duration. The symptoms developed five days after vaccination with the first dose of Covaxin (inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine). Her anterior segment was normal in both eyes (BE), whereas the posterior segment showed mild vitritis with disc edema and multiple yellowish lesions at the level of choroid clustered at the macula and associated with multiple serous detachments. BE uveitis resolved, and the vision was completely recovered three weeks after treatment with steroids. Hence, ophthalmologists should be aware of uveitis following vaccination\u2014a condition that is usually benign, transient, and results in excellent outcomes with timely diagnosis and early treatment with steroids.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_861_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,29]],"date-time":"2022-08-29T05:38:02Z","timestamp":1661751482000},"page":"3420-3421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Bilateral
