Abstract:A high contagious virus—— novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is proved to be the pathogen causing a global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019, which is threatening the global public health. This article preliminarily reviews several different aspects, including the characteristics of 2019-nCoV, the anatomical connection between ocular surface and respiratory tract, previous work on the link between respiratory virus and ocular complication, and the data of angiotension-converting enzyme 2 receptor expression and molecular detection of SARS virus in tear. Based on these reviews, intervention measures are advised for ophthalmic practitioner, whilst suggestions are indicated for further clinical and basic investigations in the future.
