The impact of the pandemic is becoming more apparent now on various tissues and body organs. Limited knowledge is present about the characteristics, duration, and long-term sequelae of ocular problems post-COVID-19 infection. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and analyze the ocular problems occurring in healthcare workers after COVID-19 infection.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Material and Method:<\/jats:title>\n This was a cross-sectional survey study conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna. The participants were healthcare workers who were exposed to COVID-19 infection \u22656 months back. A questionnaire was prepared. Responses were evaluated and analyzed. Patient consent and institutional committee permission were taken as per norms.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Result:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 210 healthcare workers who were infected with COVID-19 >6 months back responded with complete answers. The maximum number of respondents was between the ages of 31 and 60 (73.3%). The pre-covid ocular problems were present in 25% of the participants, especially in those having chronic diseases (such as diabetes, hypertension, or both). Post-ocular problems were faced by 60% of the participants, which was significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01). Dry eye, itching, and foreign body sensations were present in 60% of those facing ocular problems (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01). Ocular surface manifestations were more common.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n A knowledge, understanding, and awareness about ocular problems and their long-term sequelae in post-COVID-19-infected patients will help in early diagnosis and better management of such patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_785_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,10]],"date-time":"2024-09-10T14:15:33Z","timestamp":1725977733000},"page":"3644-3646","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A cross-sectional survey of ocular problems after COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers at a teaching hospital"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Santosh Kumar","family":"Mishra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Patna Medical College, Patna, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Patna Medical College, Patna, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arti","family":"Kumari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nalanda Medical College, Patna, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anant Kumar","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Bhagwan Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Pawapuri, Nalanda, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20241104","first-page":"e951","article-title":"ocular manifestation and clinical characteristies of 535 cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan China.
