New information recommends the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), might be transferred through the eye.

Information from 38 patients contaminated with COVID-19 from Hubei Province, China, discovered 12 people (316 percent) had ocular manifestations, consisting of epiphora, conjunctival congestion, or chemosis,.

according to a report published by JAMA Ophthalmology.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology had earlier stated that some reports recommend “the infection can cause conjunctivitis and possibly be transmitted by aerosol contact with (the) conjunctiva.”.

Now, a freshly launched study, this one by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has found eyes and surrounding tissue produce the enzyme ACE-2, making them a target for the infection.
