A Complete Analysis of COVID-19 and the Eye 🦠 👁
From past to present, we review the impact of this disease on our patients.
There are two different philosophies on COVID-19 transmission through the eye. The first considers the conjunctiva as a direct inoculation site of infected droplets. The second centers around the nasolacrimal duct as a way for viral movement to enter the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
One recent study showed that even though conjunctival cells expressed SARS-CoV-2, an infection did not result. A study published in July 2022 determined that SARS-CoV-2 was detectable with a conjunctival sac swab by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing in patients who had a PCR-positive nasopharyngeal swab, but the positivity rate was only about 12%.
