Abstract
Bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) syndrome is an uncommon disorder marked by sudden dispersion of pigment in the anterior chamber, iris sphincter muscle paralysis, and elevated intraocular pressure. This syndrome has been linked to viral infections and the administration of fluoroquinolones such as moxifloxacin. This study presents a case of a 54-year-old male, otherwise in good health, who developed BAIT syndrome 1 week after experiencing an upper respiratory tract infection that followed a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis. The patient was effectively treated with topical prednisolone acetate and antiglaucoma medications. Further studies are required to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 and BAIT to enhance understanding of its pathophysiology.
