The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has now emerged signs of stable or in control, especially in China. Several studies have been conducted to identify the possible ocular route of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the ocular symptoms in COVID-19 patients. Due to the close contact with patients when performing ophthalmologic examinations or surgeries, ophthalmologists need precautionary measures during the outbreak. Here, we summarize researches on COVID-19 related ocular characteristics and the experience against the SARS-CoV-2 infection, hoping to help ophthalmologists and patients worldwide.
