Amaç: Nazofaringeal ve orofaringeal sürüntülerde SARS-CoV-2 virüsü için gerçek zamanlı ters transkripsiyon-polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (rRT-PCR) testi pozitif olan hastalarda oküler hastalıkların varlığını araştırmak.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: SARS-CoV-2 virüsü açısından rRT-PCR testi pozitif olan hastanede yatan hastaların dosyaları geriye dönük tarandı. Bu hastalardan son bir yıl içinde göz polikliniğine başvuran hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi ve almış oldukları tanılar kayıt edildi.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmada rRT-PCR testi pozitif olan 1120 hasta incelendi. Bu hastaların 178'i (% 15,8) daha önce göz kliniklerine başvurmuştu. En sık görülen hastalıklar kırma kusurları, kuru göz sendromu, blefarokonjonktivit ve alerjik konjonktivit idi.
Sonuç: SARS-CoV-2 varlığı doğrulanmış hastalarda eşlik eden oküler hastalık oranı % 15.8 idi. Kronik göz hastalıklarının, el-yüz teması nedeni ile SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonunun bulaştırıcılığı arttırabileceğini düşünüyoruz.

Objective: To investigate the presence of chronic ocular diseases in patients who had a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test of oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Material and Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to determine all hospitalized patients who had a positive rRT‐PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 virus. From these patients, who applied to eye polyclinics in the last one year were included and the diagnosis was investigated.
Results: This study investigated 1120 patients with a positive rRT‐PCR test. Of these patients, 178 (15.8%) had applied to eye clinics previously. The most common diseases were refractive errors, dry eye syndrome, blepharoconjunctivitis, and allergic conjunctivitis.
Conclusion: The rate of concomitant ocular diseases in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 was 15.8%. Avoiding touching the face and eyes and hand hygiene were the main prevention ways from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Concomitant ocular diseases might increase the risk of contact transmission routes.
