Clinical narrative: Bilateral retinal detachments; This literature-non-study case was reported in a literature article and describes the occurrence of RETINAL DETACHMENT (Bilateral retinal detachments) in a 22-year-old female patient who received mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) for COVID-19 vaccination.   LITERATURE REFERENCE: Bilateral retinal detachments in a healthy 22-year-old woman after moderna SARS-COV-2 vaccination.    Concurrent medical conditions included Myopia.   On an unknown date, the patient received second dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (unknown route) 1 dosage form. On an unknown date, received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (unknown route) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form. On an unknown date,  after starting mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine), the patient experienced RETINAL DETACHMENT (Bilateral retinal detachments) (seriousness criterion medically significant). The patient was treated with Surgery (bilateral vitrectomies for simultaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachments) for Retinal detachment. At the time of the report, RETINAL DETACHMENT (Bilateral retinal detachments) outcome was unknown.      DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On an unknown date, Ultrasound eye: abnormal (abnormal) Point-of-care ultrasound of the eye showed a retinal detachment in the right eye.. On an unknown date, Visual acuity tests: abnormal (abnormal) visual acuity with corrective lenses was 20/70 in the right eye, 20/20 in the left eye, and 20/25 with both eyes open..     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Unknown), the reporter considered RETINAL DETACHMENT (Bilateral retinal detachments) to be possibly related.    Patient presented to the emergency department with 5 days of progressive, painless vision loss in her right eye. Patient was subsequently seen by ophthalmology and diagnosed with bilateral retinal detachments (macula off in the right, macula on in the left), despite being asymptomatic in her left eye. And she did note having received her second dose of the COVID- 19 vaccine 10 days before the onset of symptoms.  This case concerns a 22-year-old female patient with relevant medical history of Myopia who experienced serious unexpected event of Retinal detachment. The event occurred ten days after the second dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The rechallenge was not applicable as the event occurred following the second dose of the vaccine. It was reported that the patient presented to the emergency department with 5 days of progressive, painless vision loss in her right eye. On examination, her visual acuity with corrective lenses was 20/70 in the right eye, 20/20 in the left eye, and 20/25 with both eyes open. Point-of-care ultrasound of the eye showed a retinal detachment in the right eye. She was subsequently seen by ophthalmology and diagnosed with bilateral retinal detachments (macula off in the right, macula on in the left), despite being asymptomatic in her left eye. She underwent bilateral vitrectomies for simultaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. The reporter assessed the event as related to the product. The benefit-risk relationship of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is not affected by this report.; Sender's Comments: This case concerns a 22-year-old female patient with relevant medical history of Myopia who experienced serious unexpected event of Retinal detachment.
