In this paper, a systematic review of current COVID-19 literature relevant for ophthalmological practice is performed, with a special focus on modes of transmission, the prevention thereof, structural adjustments of clinical care required during the pandemic, and possible ocular manifestations of this novel disease. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV 2, currently causing the COVID-19 pandemic, has severe implications for ophthalmologybe it because the eyes represent an important route of infection, most probably through lacrimal drainage into the nasal mucosa, or because of ocular manifestations, which, even if rather rare, can represent the first symptoms of this novel disease [29] .	./cache/cord-276234-2nkeq4ud.txt	./txt/cord-276234-2nkeq4ud.txt
