Abstract

O SARS-CoV-2 é um vírus altamente transmissível, que se propaga através do contato entre os indivíduos, através de gotículas respiratórias ou quando há contato com superfícies contaminadas previamente. Até o momento, as evidências disponíveis sobre outras vias de transmissão do vírus são limitadas, entretanto, é importante ressaltar que os olhos podem ser uma via alternativa de contágio através de suas secreções. Este artigo visa demonstrar as manifestações oculares descritas até o momento em pacientes com diagnóstico da COVID-19.
