33 days post covid
Hi,
I lost my eye sight 25 days back which is after 6 days of recovery from covid. I visited eye specialist and took spectacles. Yesterday while cleaning my face i saw a black crust in my hand not sure if it is may be from my nose (it came even without blowing). Right now i don't have any swelling, redness or other symptoms etc. Is it sign of black fungus?

Hi,
Losing eyesight after covid needs to be evaluated at the earliest. Mucormycosis or the black fungus is the most common co-infection with covid leading to eye problems. More thorough evaluation is required including imaging like MRI. Do not wast any more time any consult an ENT surgeon ASAP
