Ocular manifestations and clinical characteristics of 535 cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a cross-sectional study

Washington State University at Tri-Cities

- There have been two reports of COVID-19 positive patients with conjunctivitis or conjunctival congestion
- Ocular secretions were seen in those with the SARS-CoV-2 positive serology
- This presents the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause conjunctivitis
- However, this relationship is not very clear at this point due to a lack of studies comparing the two
- It has also been suggested that the ocular system is a potential route of transmission of the virus
