Abstract

We report a short case series of Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada (VKH)-like presentation in the eyes of Indian patients following vaccination. Patients with symptoms and signs of VKH that developed after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, who presented with the first episode of the disease were included. There were five patients with four probable VKH and one incomplete VKH, with the mean time of onset being 5.4 ± 3.7 weeks. All patients had bilateral presentation. Steroid treatment was effective with no recurrence. Any vaccination can act as a trigger for the first episode of VKH presentation, and patient education on the same is needed.
