Dengue infection is epidemic but ocular complications of dengue are less reported. We report a case of dengueinfected patient with disturbing ocular symptoms. He was admitted for severe dengue. Subsequently, he presented with symptoms of bilateral central scotoma with metamorphosia. Fundus examination revealed cotton wool spots and flame-shaped haemorrhages at the macula, with dull foveal light reflex. He was diagnosed with bilateral dengue maculopathy. The patient was managed conservatively with surveillance. One week later, his eye symptoms improved and were resolved six months later. Early recognition and close monitoring remains the key to successful management and interventions are rarely needed.
