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.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行给眼科学带来了前所未有的挑战。全球至少有 16 名眼科医生因 COVID-19 而死亡。这反映了眼科医生易感染 COVID-19 的情况,因为他们与患者密切接触。本章概述了 COVID-19 的眼部表现、COVID-19 对眼科医生和患者的风险、因 COVID-19 而进行的临床服务调整,以及感染控制措施,以尽量减少眼科实践中 COVID-19 的传播。
