An Emphasis on the Gap Between the Surveyed Myopia Rate and Eyeglass-Wearing Rate in the Study of Ocular Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

This study supports the ocular surface as a point of entry for SARS-CoV-2 transmission. However, according to a recent systematic review, ocular manifestations were found in 0% to 31.6% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, and only 0% to 11.1% had positive test results in tear samples. This suggests that the ocular surface is not a major transmission route for SARS-CoV-2.
