Abstract
Emergence of novel corona virus (2019-nCOV) and evolving into a pandemic in a short span of time has caught the entire humanity un-warranted. Most of the population effected had predominant respiratory presentation which in many cases worsened very soon leading to deaths.

We here give a brief account of eye involvement in COVID and precautionary measures for eye protection especially for eye care professionals.
