Clinical Changes in Eye due to Covid - 19 Pandemic: A Review

Abstract

COVID-19 is a coronavirus disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 subtype. Coronaviruses have attracted global attention due to the emergence of severe respiratory syndrome infections such as SARS and MERS in 2003. They were triggered by the introduction of the coronavirus in humans.  The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is a reminder of the evolution of organisms. For SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, the two viruses have the same angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The human-to-human transfer of SARS-CoCoV-2 occurs through respiratory droplets and contact with the mucous membranes. Eye protection is often required to prevent the spread of SARS-CoBV-2. Human-to-person transmission of SARS-coV-2 occurs through respiratory droplets and contact with the body's mucous membranes. Eyewitnesses have raised concerns that the disease could be transmitted through the ocular surface. Several patients with COVID-19 exhibited ocular abnormalities. Several studies have shown that patients with COVID-19 exhibited ocular anomalies. Further studies suggest that this infection may have a relationship with SARSCoV-2 infection.  SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory illness that has caused thousands of fatalities globally. It has been named COVID-19 Cases of pneumonia were reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The infections were caused by the SARS virus.
