Abstract
[1] The origin of this decision seems to stem from the concern that viral dissemination may occur via NCT due to micro-aerosols formed with the pulse of pressurized air blown towards the eyes and previous evidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) particles in tears of infected patients. [2],[3],[4] However, recent studies showed inconsistent results regarding the presence of SARS-CoV-2 particles in tears and the risk of infection from ocular secretions is still uncertain. According to Sun et al., the expression and the binding capability of ACE2 were found to be much lower in conjunctiva and cornea than in lung and kidney tissues.
