We report a case of a 60-year-old man with optic neuritis following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pneumonia. He tested positive for serum myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG antibody and was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone (1 g/d) for 5 days followed by oral prednisolone taper. Six weeks after treatment, his symptoms resolved.
