Retinal findings in four patients with COVID-19 Panels A-D represent four different patients. (A) Colour fundus photography and red-free imaging show a cotton wool spot at the superior retinal arcade with subtle microhaemorrhage. (B–D) Cross-sectional B-scan OCT in three patients shows hyper-reflective lesions at the level of the inner plexiform and ganglion cell layers, a feature observed in all patients. COVID-19=coronavirus disease 2019. OCT=optical coherence tomography.
