In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
Definitely not as obvious as when I first noticed it, so there are signs of improvement. ... My vision has gotten better, I ~think~.

Summary
A person with long COVID described persistent visual problems: pupils slightly unequal indoors, near-constant eye floaters, intense afterimages, dry eyes on waking and eyes going cross-eyed while reading, which brought on anxiety and led them to stop reading. By April 2021 their overall vision had improved somewhat, though floaters and dry eyes remained.
