2. Selected Publications: Eye & Non-Eye-Related

In the midst of COVID-19, the scientific study and research into the virus and disease, and the sharing of such findings, is key. Over the past 4 months, over 4,000 scientific articles on the novel coronavirus have been published! In view of this, we have selected 32 important publications in areas of eye-related preventive measures, ocular involvement, clinical characteristic, infectivity and vaccine development of COVID-19 etc. The list is as shown below.
