    Hi Brittney,

    I was fortunate that when I went through the virus myself I didn't have much trouble with my eyes, but I have read SO many people on the forum here talk about their eyes being affected and various symptoms connected to the eyes - and also read how these symptoms passed for people and how they got better again. It seems as though this can be an area that is really affected for some people, just hoping and praying that this will settle and pass for you - remember all symptoms with this eventually pass and you will get there, I know it's hard to see or comprehend that when in the midst of it all and suffering. Maybe worth looking into or getting advice seeing if there are any vitamins or herbs that might be helpful for those kind of symptoms.

    Thinking about you Brittney - hang in there and still believing fully in your recovery with God's help.

    Hi Brittney,

    I'm 7 weeks in and I've had numerous eye issues - floaters, sore/red and irritated eyes, a general feeling of eye fatigue, and that weird 'gluey' feeling that can make things blurry. Have also been photosensitive. So you're not alone, and from what I've read trawling through previous posts it's fairly common for the virus to manifest in the eyes. I've seen an optometrist twice in the past month or so just because I was freaking out, but she said my eyes looked fine. Hope this helps - and that you feel better soon.
