"Abstract ... Here, we describe a case of optic neuritis after the administration of the mRNA COVID-19 Moderna vaccine.

A 47-year-old female presented eight days after receiving the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine with impaired vision in the left eye and symptoms consistent with optic neuritis. The patient underwent a workup for infectious etiology, autoimmune diseases, and allergies, which was negative. The patient was treated with a high dose of steroids resulting in the complete resolution of her symptoms. The patient was recommended against the second dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine."
