    Snippet: PURPOSE: To describe a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) in a patient immediately following administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. OBSERVATIONS: The patient complained of paracentral scotoma supported by paracentral visual field loss on multiple Humphrey visual fields that corresponded to outer retinal pathology on optical coherence tomography. The patient's symptoms resolved without treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: We conclude that the clinical testing demonstr
    Document: PURPOSE: To describe a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) in a patient immediately following administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. OBSERVATIONS: The patient complained of paracentral scotoma supported by paracentral visual field loss on multiple Humphrey visual fields that corresponded to outer retinal pathology on optical coherence tomography. The patient's symptoms resolved without treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: We conclude that the clinical testing demonstrated findings consistent with AMN. AMN may be an exceedingly rare adverse ocular effect of a novel vaccine and likely only in the setting of multiple other risk factors. Despite this, we strongly recommend vaccination against COVID-19.
