**Abstract**

The SARS-CoV-2 is a highly infective virus, which is transmitted by exposure to infectious respiratory fluids. Ocular manifestations occur in 10% of the patients. The main ophthalmologic manifestation described so far has been conjunctivitis with mild follicular reaction. The clinical signals usually are conjunctival hyperemia, foreign body sensation, tearing, dry eye, and photophobia, but there is a wide range of ocular signals and symptoms described. Fragments of viral RNA could be detected in the tears of some of these patients. The virus recognizes the ACE-2 receptor in the corneal epithelium and then gains circulation and spreads to other sites. That would demonstrate that there may be a tropism from the new SARS-COV-2 with the eye.
