Description Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is thought to result from circulatory insufficiency. Few reports of NAION in SARS-CoV-2 infections have been described and presumed to be associated with hypercoagulability or prone positioning. We present a patient admitted for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who developed clinical features of NAION after massive bleeding. In addition, the patient had laboratory indices of hypercoagulation described in COVID- Associated-Coagulopathy (CAC).
