ABSTRACT

COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, was declared pandemic by the World Health Organization on 11 March 2020. In the absence of effective medications for this viral infection, many have been the efforts made by health policies to adequately control the source of infection and transmission, and to protect susceptible populations through compulsory quarantine as a timely prevention measure. Viral conjunctivitis and risk of contagion via the ocular route have been mentioned in a variety of international studies contained in the bibliography about the topic. It has been found that the virus may be isolated from tears and from the conjunctiva, and that it may be transmitted via ocular secretion. The current coronavirus pandemic is a world health emergency causing thousands of deaths in many countries. A search was conducted for published papers to identify the ocular manifestations of COVID-19 reported by researchers. Use was made of the platform Infomed, specifically the Virtual Health Library.
