ABSTRACT
We present a case of SARS-CoV-2 conjunctivitis in a 55-year-old female patient, with hyperemia and foreign body sensation in both eyes. The eye examination revealed conjunctivitis. She had detectable SARS-CoV-2 by polymerase chain reaction on conjunctival and nasal swabs. She was treated with ciprofloxacin eye drops, corticosteroids and trometamol for 5 days. After the seventh day of evolution, there was a significant improvement in conjunctivitis, and repeated conjunctival swab was negative. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.
