  1. Dr. David Robinson How to protect your eyes against Covid 19

  2. The History of Eye Protection and Diseases The 17th century outbreak of the bubonic plague saw the emergence of doctors wearing beaked mask suits (a precursor to today’s hazmat suit). Importantly, these suits also contained in-built spectacles to cover the eyes.

  3. Covid 19 and conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis is an infection of the conjunctiva in the eye, which sits over the white part of your eye and under your eyelids. The symptoms of people who have conjunctivitis from Covid 19 are commonly reported as red, itchy, swollen eyes. It’s important to remember that conjunctivitis is a very common eye disease which is usually caused by factors other than Covid 19.

  4. How can I protect my eyes from Covid 19? Vaccination is the first defence against Covid 19. We can take to reduce the risk of contracting Covid 19 through the eyes: 1. Be sure to keep a safe distance (at least 1.5m) between you and others 2. Wear a mask. This won’t protect your eyes but may protect other people's’ eyes if you have Covid 19.

  5. Eye Protection and Covid- 19 In a pandemic, protecting the eyes should be just as important as protecting our mouths via facemasks or encouraging us to wash our hands. If someone with Covid 19 breathes or sneezes on you then it is possible for you to contract Covid 19.
