WCM-Q researchers use pioneering eye exam to identify nervedamage in long Covid patients

An eye examination pioneered by Dr. Rayaz Malik of Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar can be used to detect nerve damage in long Covid patients.

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) have shown that a specialized eye examination can be used to identify underlying nerve damage in patients diagnosed with long Covid.   The examination technique – called corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) – could be used as a diagnostic tool to confirm suspected cases of long Covid, say the researchers.
