Black Fungus..?
My whole family was diagnosed Covid positive on Apr 28. My wife was hospitalized few days later due to chest congestion and weakness for 7 days. She was given steroids, remdesvir and blood thinners. She is non-diabetic and was not on any oxygen support. It's been more than 2 weeks in recovery. From last few days, she sometimes get itching, red watery eye. Sometimes it happens on one eye and sometimes other and clears on its own after sometime. She usually wear her power glasses and use Eyemist Forte drops. She has occasional headache as well. Do I need to get any further checks..?

A routine ENT consultation is mandatory to rule out Mucormycosis. It starts in the nose and sinuses to begin with. The eye is affected at a later stage.
Itching and redness might be due to dryness or some allergic reaction. A pic might help to diagnose better.
She can continue using Eyemist forte eyedrop.
