BACKGROUND: Healthcare work is a risk factor for coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19). OBJECTIVES: To review risk mitigation strategies in ophthalmology
during the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Risk mitigation strategies to
maintain ophthalmology care, to prevent collateral damage from care disruption,
and to prevent the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) are summarized based on the example of a tertiary referral center in
Germany. RESULTS: Clinical management strategies included restricted access to
buildings, triage systems, telemedicine approaches, strategies for rapid treat
and release, and transparent communication strategies. Strategies to protect
patients and staff relied on both standard hygiene precautions and the use of
personal protective equipment for prevention of droplet infections. Physical
barriers supported risk mitigation strategies. CONCLUSION: To maintain
ophthalmological care during the COVID-19 pandemic, a coordinated, multifaceted
approach using risk mitigation strategies to protect staff, patients, and the
public was initiated.
