Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID for thirteen months reported double vision, loss of depth perception, periodic blindness in the left eye and visual-cognitive processing problems. Three major chalazions were lanced and drained; two infections spread to the face and one to the sinuses, the latter needing IV antibiotics, leaving a permanent shiner and poor vision. They still needed lots of assistance to leave the house.
