The article presents a case of complicated viral conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis was the initial sign of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the patient. The disease had a fairly long course and led to symmetrical scarring in the form of partial external symblepharon and dry eye syndrome. Ophthalmologists should be aware about this disease and its complications. Early treatment with corticosteroids in combination with symptomatic therapy can contribute to prevention of the development of conjunctival scarring. In addition to conjunctival scarring, this disease can possibly potentiate the development of keratitis, optic neuritis, and uveitis.
