2020 September - 10 articles

Cover Story: Due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and how it relates to ocular transmission is needed. Taken together, the current available data support that SARS-CoV-2 may either directly infect cells on the ocular surface, or the virus can be carried through the nasolacrimal duct to infect the respiratory or gastrointestinal epithelium. Efforts to shield the ocular surface should be employed in conjunction with respiratory protection to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. View this paper
