OBJECTIVE: To present an established practice protocol for safe and effective
hospital-setting ophthalmic practice during the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Literature was reviewed to identify
articles relevant to COVID-19 pandemic and ophthalmology. The following keywords
were used: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and telemedicine, combined with eye,
ophthalmology, conjunctivitis and tears. Data were extracted from the identified
manuscripts and discussed among subspecialists to obtain consensus evidence-based
practice. RESULTS: A protocol for ophthalmic practice in the era of COVID-19
pandemic was established. The protocol covered patient screening, clinic flow,
required personal protective equipment and modifications of ophthalmic equipment
for improved safety. CONCLUSION: Important literature emerged with respect to the
practice of ophthalmology in the era of COVID-19. An evidence-based ophthalmic
practice protocol was established and should be modified in the future to
accommodate new insights on the COVID-19 pandemic.
