As the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 develops and evolves from 2019 and new variants of the virus appear, we are obtaining more and more information on all aspects of the pathogen, including its effects on ocular tissues and the visual system. This review summarizes the known ophthalmic signs of SARS- CoV-2 infection including anterior and posterior segments of the eye as well as the described neuroophthalmological manifestations. The recommended pre-exposure prophylaxis to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in ophthalmological staff is also presented in the paper.
