<p>This article aims to present up-to-date information on ocular symptoms of pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome. The reviewers obtained the results based on a search of an electronic database. The pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome appears a few weeks after COVID-19 in children. The exact etiology remains unclear. It is diagnosed based on clinical and laboratory criteria. The most prevalent manifestation of the syndrome is non-purulent conjunctivitis (observed in around 50% of cases). The other ocular findings in the pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome can be; eyelid swelling, bilateral uveitis or vitreous hyperreflective dots in the posterior vitreous. The treatment of the ophthalmic symptoms is systemic and topical, targeting the enhanced inflammatory response of the organism and the presence of the given ocular findings.</p>
