Clinical narrative: blurred vision/After my 2nd dose my vision is substantially worse, to where I cannot drive even 3 days later; huge lump under where she received the vaccine; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 40-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), 1ST DOSE, single on 23Apr2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0170) and 2ND DOSE, single on 14May2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported), both via unspecified route at 9:50 am, arm left for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included does wear glasses and mild psoriasis (just uses something topical if she has a flare up) from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient historical vaccine includes: flu vaccine from unspecified date for immunization. No other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. The patient is calling about the Covid 19 vaccine. After she received her first Covid 19 vaccine on 23Apr2021, she had blurred vision starting on Sunday, 25Apr2021. She called the pharmacy and was told that blurred vision was a rare side effect and her vision should clear. She received the second Covid 19 vaccine on Friday, 14May2021 and she experienced the blurred vision again except this time she can't see anything unless it's about 2 inches from her eyes. She doesn't have a job she has to go to but she is a stay at home mom and she home schools her children. She can't even see the text in books. She can't drive, not even to the grocery store. She is asking how long is this going to last.  Her arm has a huge lump under where she received the vaccine. The lump is still there from the first vaccine and she has another lump from the second vaccine. Her left arm now has 2 lumps. She thought that might be an allergic reaction but the same lady gave her both injections and stabbed her pretty hard when she gave the Covid 19 vaccine. The pharmacist did tell her she can get blurred vision with any vaccine but she always gets her flu vaccine and she's never had blurred vision before. She received her second Covid 19 vaccine on Friday, 14May2021 in the left arm. She can't find the vaccine record card, she had two vaccine records card because she forgot to bring the first vaccine record card to her second appointment. The NDC for the second vaccine is on her receipt. NDC 59267-1000-01, Lot/Expiry not known for second dose. First Covid 19 vaccine information is in the suspect product field. She received her first Covid 19 vaccine on Friday, 23Apr2021 and she had blurred vision on Sunday, 25Apr2021. She thought at first it was pink eye or conjunctivitis because her vision was blurry and she thought, what did her children bring home to her. Her eyes weren't pink though. She called the pharmacist and he told her it was a side effect. Her vision did get better about a week before the second Covid 19 vaccine but it wasn't completely back to normal. She received the second Covid 19 vaccine on 14May2021 and she experienced more blurred vision on Sunday, 16May2021 but it's much worse and it's not gotten better. She's trying to read from her coffee machine and she can't even see what it says. This can't be normal. Does she need to see an optometrist? She reports she could still drive after her first Covid 19 vaccine because the blurry vision wasn't that bad but this time it's scaring her a little bit. She reports she does wear glasses but only for night time. Her pupils don't dilate well so she tries not to drive at night.The reporter added that around 48 hours after my first dose I began having blurred vision, it got slightly better before my 2nd dose, however, it did not get completely better. After my 2nd dose my vision is substantially worse, to where I cannot drive even 3 days later. The outcome of the event was recovering for blurred vision and not recovered for the other event. The patient was did not required emergency room and physician office visit.   Follow up attempts are needed. Further information has been requested.
