Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Information of Interest for Eye Care Professionals

As we move through the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, SBH truly hopes that all of our EduFacts readers stay safe and well.

The following are topics that may be of interest to eye care professionals, with links to full papers and resources. Click on the links below:

• Study suggests that the risk of Covid-19 transmission in tears may be low

• Covid-19 can cause viral conjunctivitis undistinguishable from other viral causes

• Controversy: Use of ACEIs and ARBs in Covid19 patients, harmful or helpful? Some Perspectives:

o Hypothesis: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers may increase the risk of severe COVID-19

o Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Inhibitors in Patients with Covid-19

o Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Infection and Renin Angiotensin System Blockers

• The CDC offers guidance on contact lens wear related to COVID-19.

• While it’s engendered debate, some Chinese and US physicians have employed IV ascorbic acid as a supportive treatment in Covid-19. There is also a clinical trial of IV vitamin C for severe Covid-19-induced pneumonia underway. What is the rationale?

o High-dose intravenous vitamin C treatment for COVID-19

o Vitamin C Can Shorten the Length of Stay in the ICU: A Meta-Analysis

o Assessment of Evidence for COVID-19-Related Treatments: Updated 4/10/2020

• Multiple vitamins and minerals with immune-supporting roles may modulate immune function and reduce the risk of infection, particularly vitamins C, D and zinc. Inadequate status of vitamin D, especially, is common. Healthful eating is important to maintain a well-functioning immune system:

o Vitamin D for Treatment and Prevention of Infectious Diseases: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

o A Review of Micronutrients and the Immune System–Working in Harmony to Reduce the Risk of Infection

• Finally, for a respite from Covid-19 related tension, try watching the ‘Jelly Cam’ at the Monterey Bay Aquarium!
