摘要
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to ophthalmology. At least 16 ophthalmologists worldwide have succumbed to COVID-19. It reflects the susceptibility of ophthalmologists to COVID-19 infection as they are in close proximity to patients. This chapter provides an overview of the ocular manifestations of COVID-19, risks of COVID-19 to ophthalmologists and patients, clinical service adjustments due to COVID-19, and infection control measures to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 in ophthalmic practice.
