Thousands of Eye Disorders Including Blindness Following COVID Vaccine Reported in Europe

(LifeSiteNews) – Hundreds of cases of blindness are among the 19,916 reports of “eye disorders” to the World Health Organization’s European drug monitoring agency following injection of experimental COVID-19 vaccines.

The nearly 20,000 eye disorders reported to VigiBase, a database for the WHO maintained by the Uppsala Monitoring Centre(UMC) in Uppsalla, Sweden, include:

• Eye pain (4616)
• Blurred vision  (3839)
• Photophobia or light intolerance (1808)
• Visual impairment (1625)
• Eye swelling (1162)
• Ocular hyperaemia or red eyes (788)
• Eye irritation (768)
• Itchy eyes or eye pruritus (731)
• Watery eyes or increased lacrimation (653)
• Double vision or diplopia (559)
• Eye strain or asthenopia (459)
• Dry eye (400)
• Swelling around the eye or periorbital swelling (366)
• Swelling of eyelid (360)
• Flashes of light in the field of vision or photopsia (358)
• Blindness (303)
• Eyelid oedema (298)
• Eye or ocular discomfort (273)
• Conjunctival haemorrhage or breakage of a small eye vessel (236)
• Blepharospasm or abnormal contraction of an eye muscle(223)
• Vitreous floaters (192)
• Periorbital oedema (171)
• Eye haemorrhage (169)

More than half of the eye disorders (10, 667) were also reported to the U.K.’s Yellow Card adverse event reporting system. These would have followed injection primarily of AstraZeneca’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines but included eight reports of eye disorders among the 228 reports concerning Moderna’s vaccine, of which only 100,000 first doses had been administered by April 21.

Eye disorders were not reported in the clinical trials for vaccines which have been granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) only. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s fact sheet for those administering Pfizer’s experimental vaccine does not mention eye side effects. It does state, however, that “Additional adverse reactions, some of which may be serious, may become apparent with more widespread use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.”

VAERS reports

One VAERS report describes a 33-year-old pilot from Mississippi who took Pfizer’s vaccine and developed vision problems among numerous other symptoms.

“I noticed a headache in the very top of my head within an hour of getting the vaccine,” he reported. “I thought it was normal because everyone I know said they got a headache from it. Over the next few hours, the pain moved down the back of my neck and became a burning sensation at the bottom of my skull.”

“Two days after receiving the vaccine I flew my plane and immediately noticed something was wrong with me,” the report continues. “I was having a very hard time focusing. Approximately 2 hours into my flying I felt sudden and extreme pressure in my head and nearly blacked out. I immediately landed and stopped flying.”

The pilot experienced the same thing two days later when he tried flying again. The burning in his neck intensified and was accompanied by dizziness, nausea, disorientation, confusion, uncontrollable shaking, and tingling in his toes and fingers. Read Full Article >
