I have COVID and I am sensitive to light and my eyes hurt?

Hello ma'am, would it be possible to know how many days ago you tested positive for COVID?

Do you wear contact lenses?

Do you have any other symptoms such as eye discharge, nasal congestion or discharge, sinus pressure?

Thanks for the feedback, two last questions, do you have red eyes, and have you noticed a decrease in vision?

Thanks for the information!

In this case I recommend the use of artificial tears (Refresh Tears, Blink, Systane Ultra for example) to relieve the irritation, as well as warm compresses that can be used as often as desired during the day.

If you do not notice an improvement within 7 days or if the situation worsens, you should consult me as soon as the recommended isolation period has expired.

I will be available if you have any further questions!

The symptoms of COVID and sinusitis can be quite similar. That being said, sinus congestion can cause this feeling of pressure. To this end, nasal hygiene with saline solution can help and should be performed as often as necessary during the day.
