During the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, the concern for reducing disease transmission has led to a worldwide increase in face mask utilization. During this period, we have observed a corresponding increase in ocular irritation and dryness among regular mask users. This finding has not been previously described in the literature but has important implications on eye health and infection prevention, as mask use is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
在当前2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情期间，对减少疾病传播的关注导致全球口罩使用率上升。在此期间，我们观察到经常佩戴口罩的人群中眼部刺激和干涩情况相应增加。这一发现此前在文献中未曾描述，但对眼睛健康和感染预防具有重要意义，因为在可预见的未来口罩使用可能会持续下去。
