Clinical narrative: Was looking on a shelf and instantly his peripheral vision in both eyes went blurry with the geometric shapes and in moving around, that happened in both eyes; Neurologist saw films and reports and informed there was absolutely nothing wrong with his brain, it was perfectly normal; what's going on with his eyes was called ocular migraines; Developed 3 sties in the eyes; developed 3 of these in rapid secession in a period of 3-4 weeks, where they would come and go and come and go; The first stye developed pretty quickly and he took antibiotics for it; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient himself).  A 69-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left arm on 12Feb2021, after 12:00 (at the age of 69 years old) (Batch/Lot Number: 69265) as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity and other unspecified comorbidity. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Previously, the patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left arm on 22Jan2021 (at the age of 69 years old) (Batch/Lot Number: unknown) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient reported, he got the first Pfizer Covid shot in January and the second shot a month later, or 3 weeks afterwards which they tell you to do, in Feb. One month after, on an unspecified date in 2021, he developed 3 sties in the eyes. The first stye developed pretty quickly and he took antibiotics for it. The second one switched over to the other eye and that eye he got it under control with heating pads. Then the third stye went back to the original eye and he used a heating pad for that to also get it under control (unspecified dates). Knew they were typically a duct in the eyelid and could get plugged up, but he had never had them before and then he developed 3 of these in rapid secession in a period of 3-4 weeks, where they would come and go and come and go. It took him and the practitioner time to get them to go away. This was an unusual occurrence and he wondered if it was something to do with the vaccines since he got the last shot in February. Unable to provide the name of the antibiotic given or NDC, Lot, or expiry of product. That antibiotic was well gone and the bottle was gone as well. In Jun2021 (date unspecified) while in store he was looking on a shelf and instantly his peripheral vision in both eyes went blurry with the geometric shapes and in moving around, that happened in both eyes. That lasted about 5 minutes and instantly as they started they instantly, poof, went away and it was alarming. His second occurrence was 3 weeks later when he was driving and the same thing happened again in both eyes. This time it lasted about 9-10 minutes, twice as long, and it instantly started and instantly went away also. At that point he went to a clinic and that practitioner pulled him off commercial driving until they figured out what was going on. Was referred to do an MRI and then referred to a Neurologist. The practitioner didn't see the films, but she read the radiology report and was not really sure about the sties or make of it so she had recommended a Neurologist. Neurologist saw the films and reports and informed there was absolutely nothing wrong with his brain, it was perfectly normal and what's going on with his eyes was called ocular migraines. It was a brief appointment where examined the films and report and heard what he had to say. He was 69 years old and had never had these ocular migraines before in his life. Has never had any issues with sties or ocular migraines. At this point he wanted to call Pfizer you folks to let you know what was going on and what's so interesting is that the same exact 2 events, the sties and ocular migraines, were experienced by a female co-worker of his. She had never had this before in her life also and described her vision problem and that was when he told her she has ocular migraines. These have been going on with her too and they both are about the same age. She had both of her Pfizer shots too. Received the first Covid shot on 22 Jan 2021 to left shoulder area. Unable to provide the NDC, Lot, expiry, or dose for first dose stating the vaccine card given writing is too jumbled to see what they wrote. Received the second Covid shot on 12Feb2021. Unable to provide NDC, expiry, dose, but provides lot number as 69265. Had no other vaccines the same day and no problems with vaccines in past. Said they called and asked if he wanted it and he was on the fence about it because of the rush job with the vaccine. Still doesn't not have 100% and no long term study information. He had comorbid issues as well that are under control before getting the shots, so he thought he should go ahead and give it a try. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the first stye developed pretty quickly and he took antibiotics for it and developed 3 sties in the eyes; developed 3 of these in rapid secession in a period of 3-4 weeks, where they would come and go and come and go (antibiotics). The outcome of ophthalmic migraine was unknown and all the other events were recovering.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
