The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included body height: she had shrunk is about 5 feet 2 inches on an unknown date. The clinical details of the events as follows: When probed for the concern, consumer stated, she thought she had having little bit of a reaction to the Pfizer vaccine, as she had her first dose on Monday. She had a little bit of history, so she has an eye doctor who was monitoring her for glaucoma, and he put her on Latanoprost, which she has been on it for long time, it was not giving the result but he was hoping to see, so he put her on a cocktail and this has caused her eyes to be very red, the name of the drug, it called Rocklatan. So, she had been taking these particular eye drops since the end of December and getting some of the results, but they had caused her eyes to be red. So, she had some fragrance in the house that she had not used before and she did not like and think it was user friendly to her, so she removed it, isolated it in another room so that she did not have that because her eyes almost suddenly started being red, really feeling very, she would not know how to describe it, kind of gunky. The other thing that her eye doctor had put her on, he said she had dry eyes, so he was having me take, it called Refresh. So, all of a sudden, she felt like kind of tried to isolate some of that kind of stuff, her eyes were swollen, they continue to be red and they were redder than they have been and she did go to a doctor on Monday, he commented and he said what was going on with your eyes and she said she was taking these drops and they were causing her eyes to be red but anyway they (eyes) are itchy, she had been putting ice on the eye lid and stuff like that she meant just trying to relieve the itchiness, they feel like, she has allergies but what she envisioned the allergies she just wanted to really scratch them and scratch them and scratch them, so she was trying to, like she said use the ice and stuff like that trying to calm them down. She was thinking this might be reaction to the injection because, she has not had experienced this before. Patient stated, she needs to know what she needs to do at this point, dose she need to see her eye doctor or see her general practitioner. She asked whether to go down the store and get some Benadryl.
