Ocular Manifestations and Clinical Characteristics of Children With Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 in Wuhan, China

In this cross sectional study, researchers aimed to investigate the ocular manifestations and outcomes in 216 children (median age = 7.25) from Wuhan infected with COVID-19. 49 out of the 216 children (22.7%) exhibited ocular manifestations, and for nine of the children, ocular symptoms were their first symptoms of COVID-19. Conjunctival discharge was the most common ocular manifestation found in the children, followed by eye rubbing and conjunctival congestion. Additionally, it was determined that children having systemic symptoms or having a cough had a higher likelihood of exhibiting ocular manifestations of COVID-19. However, all of the ocular symptoms were relatively mild.
