Abstract

The aim of the research was to see if there were any ocular surface symptoms in individuals who had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV2 is usually transmitted by way ofintimate interaction through pulmonary secretions; therefore, ocular transmission be also a risk, relating to the conjunctiva functioning like both a means of expression and a source of infectivity. COVID-19 ocular manifestations very commonly described included eye discomfort, redness, discharge, and follicular conjunctivitis. The presence of the CD147 and ACE2 receptors in ocular cells membrane indicates which these cells may act as a gateway of entrance point for SARS Coronavirus 2. Considering the absence of virus infection in tears and conjunctival swabs, the RT-PCR findings that were negative do not, SARS CoV 2 is considered out as a risk being present into ocular fluids. Microorganisms may transfer to the nasal passages by continual tear flow through the lacrimal duct pathway, producing illness. Although the eyes are considered to be the primary mode of transmission, their significance in increase of SARS Covid2 cannot be neglected. Medical professionals must inquire about patients' eye symptoms that are compatible with SARS-CoV2, utilizeprotective eyewear In addition to masks, typical personal protective equipment for high-risk patients includes goggles or face shields worn by either the patients and health care providers, and detect tearing as the cause of the sickness.
