On 10th August 2021, I received a 71 year old patient with total right eye ptosis and a binocular diplopia reported exactly 4 days after recovering from Covid-19.

For the record, the patient has been on treatment for years because of diabetes and high blood pressure, and is vaccinated with the two doses of Astra-Zeneca and was taking corticosteroids for 12 days, as well as paracetamol, antibiotic and vitamin C against Covid-19.

Two days before he showed up for an Orthoptic consultation, he saw his Ophthalmologist with a sudden binocular diplopia, right eye ptosis, dizziness and a headache, as well as a sensation of stretching in the eye muscles.
