- Abstract
The article discusses the recommendations of the Polish Ophthalmological Society for contact-lens wearers on preventing COVID-19 infection. The society's experts believe that the role of the use of contact lenses in the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the disease may highly probably be regarded as marginal. During an epidemic, disinfecting the outer surface of the lens container and hands with 70% ethyl alcohol or another viral disinfectant prior to hand washing is suggested.
