  ABSTRACT: Our aim is to report 4 cases of central retinal vein occlusion following COVID-19 vaccine administration. In this case series, 4 patients between 23-32 years of age presented to us with unilateral central retinal vein occlusion after 2-15 days of getting vaccinated against COVID-19. One patient was a known case of hypertension and 1 was hypothyroid. All the patients had disc swelling, flame shaped haemorrhages, dilated and tortuous blood vessels in the retina. One patient had cystoid macular edema and was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab. As there were no positive systemic risk factors or incidents, COVID-19 vaccines might have an association with the central retinal vein occlusion in these cases.
