Observational studies which both described ocular involvement among patients with COVID-19 and attempted to detect SARS-CoV-2 in ocular samples via RT-PCR and/or viral cultures were included. In contrast, other studies have reported the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in ocular samples from patients who did not experience ocular symptoms and signs [5, 9, 10] . reported in a retrospective case series that SARS-CoV-2 was detected in conjunctival swab samples from both eyes of two patients (6.06%) in a population of 33 patients. Seah et al., in a prospective case series of 17 patients, reported that SARS-CoV-2 could not be detected in RT-PCR of tear samples. In the studies that took serial samples, SARS-CoV-2 was reported to remain detectable up to 27 days after the onset of ocular and respiratory symptoms [16, 18] . ./cache/cord-338684-po3hfibp.txt ./txt/cord-338684-po3hfibp.txt
