This paper was from the journal "IOVS - Investigative ophthalmology and visual science". So, I sent a copy to my ophthalmologist and asked his opinion. He replied that he couldn't understand any of it.

Should I start looking for a new ophthalmologist?

No, of course not, unless you are funding him to research long Covid.

Some doctors are unwilling to admit when they don't know something. If he was like that, then maybe it would make sense to start looking for another ophthamologist.

Maybe? Reading the abstract, it seems to make sense to me how this paper ended up in this specific journal. From what I understand, the authors were specifically looking at one ophthalmology-related long COVID symptom (impaired retinal microcirculation) and found a common marker that is linked to that symptom.

Granted, I have 0 experience in any medical field, but it doesn't immediately look like a red flag to me?
