Abstract:

The review presents the data on characteristic features of the new coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the possibility of its transmission through the eye surface and lacrimal fluid, analyzes the information on eye damage caused by COVID-19, and provides the results of a systematic meta-analysis on the subject. The author describes the system for organizing ophthalmological care in the settings of unfavorable epidemiological situation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and considers the preventive measures of infection transmission between patients and medical personnel. The article also gives recommendations for sterilizing medical equipment.

Keywords:

SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus
COVID-19 pandemic
infection pathways
