Aims: To report a case of a young patient that presents signs of branch retinal vein occlusion after vaccination for COVID-19 (Moderna). Clinical Case: Male patient, 23 years old, with no pertinent medical history, that presents signs of branch retinal vein occlusion after the application of second dose of COVID 19 vaccine. Conclusion: There are a few case reports after vaccination for COVID 19, particularly in patients without any risk factors of developing a branch retinal vein occlusion. Therefore is important to notice about this adverse reaction to be more alert and have an earlier diagnose and treatment.
