当前的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）全球大流行已影响超过2100万人，并在几个月内造成超过50万人死亡。COVID-19已成为近年来最严重的公共卫生危机之一。与其他致病性冠状病毒相比，严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）具有高度传染性。由于缺乏特异性和有效的治疗或疫苗，疾病预防和早期发现对于制定减轻进一步传播的指导方针至关重要。眼系统在COVID-19中的潜在作用尚不清楚，但已受到越来越多的关注。在这里，我们回顾了与COVID-19相关的眼部表现的临床和研究证据，SARS-CoV-2在眼表组织和泪液中的存在，以及眼睛在感染SARS-CoV-2中的潜在作用。
The current global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected over 21 million people and caused over half a million deaths within a few months. COVID-19 has become one of the most severe public health crises in recent years. Compared to other pathogenic coronaviruses, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is highly infectious. Due to the lack of specific and effective treatment or vaccines, disease prevention and early detection are essential for establishing guidelines to mitigate further spread. The potential role of the ocular system in COVID-19 is still not clear but it has gained increasing attention. Here, we reviewed both clinical and research evidence on the ocular manifestations associated with COVID-19, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in ocular surface tissues and tears, and the potential role of the eye in contracting SARS-CoV-2.
