Expert Recommends Neuro Exam For Any Patient With Diagnosed, Suspected COVID-19 In the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA) blog on Healio (10/16), NORA President DeAnn M. Fitzgerald, OD, wrote, Although COVID-19 primarily attacks the lungs and respiratory system, it is now clear that the virus can affect many parts of the body, including the heart, brain and nervous system, according to [Hannah] Messinger, who wrote a piece featured on the Penn Medicine News ...blog. Some reports suggest that one in three patients with COVID-19 will experience neurological and psychological effects (Cooney), and the neurological effects may include strokes, nerve damage, cranial nerve palsy, altered cognition or ‘brain fog’ and balance problems. Fitzgerald recommended, Any patient with diagnosed or suspected COVID-19 should undergo a good neurological exam, including evaluation for cranial nerve palsy, visual fields and eye movements. Early intervention with vision rehabilitation can be tremendously helpful for those with vision-vestibular problems, even as the viral effects on the lungs, heart and other systems are addressed by other health care providers.
