How does COVID-19 affect the eyes?
Studies have shown that the virus can cause Conjunctivitis (inflammation of the Conjunctiva of the eye). Common symptoms of Conjunctivitis are redness, itching, irritation, and discharge. The Coronavirus can spread through the eyes just as it does through the mouth or nose. If you wear contact lenses and/or glasses, we understand that requires frequent face touching. It is highly recommended NOT to touch your face and eyes as much as possible, but if needed, please wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for the full duration of 20 seconds before and after you touch your face. If you experience any of Conjunctivitis symptoms, it is best to schedule an appointment for further evaluation and treatment.
