Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed our daily lives as ophthalmologists. This general review firstly provides a better understanding of the virus responsible for the pandemic: the SARS-CoV-2, and the clinical manifestations of the COVID-19 disease. The second part is detailing the pathophysiology, clinical signs and challenges of ocular involvement, which seems rare and not functionally severe, but which may be a potential source of contamination. Finally, we discuss the preventive measures that need to be implemented in our daily practice to avoid any viral dissemination.
