Background: Coronavirus began in Wuhan, China. This occurrence occurred in December 2019. Some contact lens wearers restart contact lens usage, despite being at home throughout their absence. Conjunctivitis and the presence of the SARS-COPV-2 in tears and conjunctival secretions caused practitioners to be concerned.
