The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Computerised tomogram: Unknown results; Visual acuity tests: Better than 20/20; Everything was fine. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of cataract, presbyopia, migraine, condition aggravated, hypermetropia, scar, eye injury. The patient was going in circles with ophthalmology. She got the first COVID vaccine (NDC Number: 59267-1000-1) because she is in healthcare and was told she had to get the vaccine during COVID. After the second vaccine (NDC Number: 59267-1000-1), she got temporal pain, migraines and her mandible which led to taking out her wisdom teeth. Orbits hurting and eye twitching. The doctor didn't think this was from the vaccine. It started getting worse. A few weeks after the third vaccine (NDC Number: 59267-1000-1; sometime in the afternoon), she picked up her phone and couldn't see the phone. She could see far but not up close. Diagnosed with presbyopia. Was told she should get better. Twitching in her eyes kept getting worse. The patient had never had migraines and started having migraines. The patient went to urgent care and did a CT scan that looked okay. Twitching kept on in November, right before holiday, she went out and all of a sudden her eyes were not seeing very well but that day it was almost like she lost her vision; she could barely see to drive home. She got glasses and then was going back every 2 weeks to optometry to increase the strength. She had better than 20/20 vision before COVID vaccine. She needed a screen to get glasses for protection for the computer, and they did the test and everything was fine. During that period, she got contacts and glasses, she couldn't get out of bed without them to see. The strength was up to almost a 4. Optometrist said it was definitely something she took. She now has cataracts all over her eyes. In her chart they put age-related. Per patient, age relatedness can't blind the eyes. Eyes were damaged so she put lenses in her eyes, and she is now far sighted, not near sighted. This has affected her life, changed her life. She is really struggling to try to see a computer and read. She is really struggling, and everyone is going on with their life. She must deal with this and it's not fair. The patient didn't do well from this. The patient reached out to ophthalmology because she doesn't want to keep changing glasses strength. Before she could see a speck of dirt on the floor. At the time of reporting, she is miserable because this has affected her physically, mentally, and physically. She has scars on her eyes from surgery. The patient was told it is going to be dangerous to open the capsule and put in another lens. She is stuck with this for the rest of her life. They said to wear sunglasses and dark sunglasses when she is out. She developed swimmer's eyes. They said it is dangerous to take it out. She has little scarring from the surgery; she can see little marks and is not too happy. For the past month she has tried to contact an attorney. She didn't know what to do. Someone told her to file a worker's compensation. Has seen optometry and ophthalmology. First, they put far sighted lenses, and she was grateful to see. But now, everything was well and now you are put at disadvantage you lose one sense it affects people. Just little tasks get so complicated because the eye controls, just one thing is off it confuses everything else. She has gone online to see what to do but didn't get much information. The third one basically took her out. She got diabetes because she lost her mother to stage 4 cancer. Diabetes started just before her first COVID vaccine, and she was taking insulin (unspecified). Her bloodwork was perfect prior and hasn't done damage to her at all. The patient got diabetes type 2 diabetes from the stress. Diabetes is stress-induced. The patient had retinal screening and had no retinal detachment. Went to optometry and had nothing to do with that, no retinal problems. If her sugar gets high, it's a problem because of eye problems she already has with the lenses that affects her vison. She had a clean bill of health just before diabetes which is caused by stress. She feels so bad today she was crying, upset and mad. Trying to figure out what she will do and how she will function for the rest of her life. Will it get worse as she ages. Her eyes were really sharp. Trying to pick up or look at something she can't see even with glasses. Can't see up close to focus she can't. It's a horrible way to live. Doctor said no she is too young for cataracts. Doctor did test and kept seeing it spreading and said it was definitely something she took. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first administration or on the same date as the Pfizer vaccine. The patient went to church and was feeling migraine. Left church and went to urgent care (physician's office). As treatment, the patient did the lenses, that is all. She went for a second opinion to see about taking capsule out and was told it's dangerous. Feels down right now.; Sender's Comments: There is no reasonable possibility that the event cataract was related to BNT162b2. This is more likely associated with the medical history of Diabetes Type 2 or an intercurrent condition.,Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202500196551 Same patient and product; different dose and event;
