PURPOSE: – To report a rare case of patient presenting with nodular scleritis and SARS-CoV2. OBSERVATIONS: This case highlights a unique presentation of SARS-CoV2 positive patient with nodular scleritis as a presenting feature. Patient initially had ocular symptoms and developed only mild systemic features subsequently which did not require hospitalization. COVID testing done at different time points showed variable results which correlated with the ocular features. This patient was followed up during quarantine using tele-ophthalmology. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: This case highlights a possible rare presentation of a SARS-CoV2 patient with nodular scleritis and also importance of tele medicine during these unprecedented times.
