The studies are small and preliminary, and larger follow-up research is needed to confirm whether the effects are temporary or persistent.

The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination — including strong protection against severe illness and death — overwhelmingly outweigh these potential risks. (No major public health agency has changed vaccine recommendations based on eye effects.)

📌 Bottom Line
A recent study has reported small, measurable structural changes in the corneas of adults after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. While these changes did not cause vision loss, they may warrant attention for people with pre-existing eye conditions. Overall, this research adds to scientific understanding but is not a reason to avoid vaccination. The vaccine remains safe and highly effective for preventing serious COVID-19.
